Applications of the Enhanced Recovery Methods to Saudi Oil Fields

Applications of the Enhanced Recovery Methods to Saudi Oil Fields

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 technolog...
