... Abstract This paper summarizes the current state of the ethane industry in the United States and explores the opportunity for using ethane for enhanced oil recovery. We show both simulation data and field examples to demonstrate that ethane is an excellent EOR injectant. After decades...

... barrel as will be seen below. Carbon dioxide flooding (continuous or alternating with water-WAG) is the dominant EOR process in the United States, mostly due to the availability of appropriate CO 2 . CO 2 EOR is also the stepping stone towards sequestering carbon which could become a future business...

... the feasibility of improving oil recovery and the economics of microbial enhanced waterflooding in mature oil wells in the United States, two field pilots have been conducted. 9 A specific microbial formulation was selected that was compatible with the chosen reservoir environment and had been shown to recover...

... Abstract Currently available enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and advanced secondary recovery (ASR) technologies could produce a significant amount of the remaining oil resource in the major oil reservoirs of the United States. The potential recovery can be even greater with a well designed...

... of the increase can be shown to have been due to infill drilling and expanded waterflooding operations. The recovery efficiency in all the United States increased only from 29.4% to 32.1% during this period. This indicates that outside of the San Joaquin Valley and West Texas the increase in recovery...
