| Description: | Short tutorial with introduction, Crude Oil Production, Fluids and Liquids Used in Enhanced Oil Recovery, Water Injection, Enhanced Oil Recovery, CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery, Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery. "When the extraction of crude oil from an offshore mature reservoir decreases, an enhanced oil recovery process is initiated. This involves injecting a pressurized liquid or gas such as liquid CO2, inert gas, steam or water down into the reservoir in order to drive the remaining oil up the well." |
