Enhanced Oil Recovery: An Update Review
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of EOR status and opportunities to increase final recovery factors in reservoirs ranging from extra heavy oil to gas condensate is presented, including risk and rewards of various EOR methods including CO2 injection, high pressure air injection, and chemical flooding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Produced water treatment technologies
Ebenezer T. Igunnu,George Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of current technologies for the management of produced water, examines how electrochemical techniques may be used in these areas and compares the prospects for future development, since produced water is a potential electrolyte because it has a relatively good conductivity.
