A tax credit for enhanced oil recovery aims to boost permanent storage of planet-warming CO2. ... McLaughlin said companies began to flood wells with water and other chemicals.

Tertiary recovery or EOR: This uses advanced and costly techniques like chemical flooding, heat, and gas injection to move trapped oil inaccessible by secondary methods. It can recover another 5% ...

Poor sweeping in water flooding, a common enhanced oil recovery method, can result from various factors. Heterogeneous permeability distribution causes preferential flow paths, leaving stagnant ...

1 Introduction. Oil as one of the world’s major energy resources is vital to ensuring energy security and promoting economic development. However, in the water injection development stage of oil ...

It is widely known that in the water flooding development process of ordinary heavy oil, the fingering phenomenon is obvious, there are a lot of unswept areas, and absolutely, the recovery is really ...

Active substances such as asphaltene and resin in heavy oil tend to absorb on the oil–water interface. Thus, heavy oil and water would easily emulsify into water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion under the shared ...

Powerful storm systems triggered flash flooding across the U.S. in late July, inundating St. Louis neighborhoods with record rainfall and setting off mudslides in eastern Kentucky, where at least ...
