EOR Screening and Optimizing Study on Carbonate Reservoirs

By times, production of oil will decrease eventually. Not all the oil in the reservoirs will be produced during the process. A substantial amount of oil will remain in place or is called as residual oil saturation (Sor) due to a partial sweep of the reservoir and oil is trapping by capillary forc...
