| Summary: | Based on the analysis of data obtained from 186 Saudi formations, the possibilities of applying different enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods were investigated.It was found that the most suitable technical methods applicable to Saudi oil fields are the miscible processes using gases. A new technology should be developed in order to be able to apply any of the enhanced recovery methods involving chemicals and heat. A study of the economical feasibility of these methods should also be performed. |
