About EOR TCP

The Energy Optimization and Recovery Technical Collaboration Program brings together individual researchers from universities and research organizations, worldwide, to discuss the most important advances in energy research, including improving production and lessening the environmental impacts of various forms of subsurface energy (heavy and tight oil, CCUS, reducing energy use through EOR with solvents and surfactants).

Fluids and Interfaces

Flow of liquids in porous media is important to the oil and gas industry.  There are various kinds of interfaces and membranes that can be using in enhanced oil production, and it is the properties of the interfaces, their pore structures, and types of fluids that improve the flow paths of oil and gas in porous media. R&D in this area is expansive, and several papers are available in the EOR TCP database related to this research area.

Natural (Physical/Chemical) Reactions

Chemical and physical reactions in reservoirs are perhaps the most common kind of R&D conducted in the field of EOR, and can include the additional of surfactants, polymers, and solvents, along with thermal energy in reservoirs to better enhance production.

Dynamic Reservoir Characterization

Effective characterization of reservoirs has always been the key to improving recovery rates and lessening environmental impacts of production.  Such characterization has moved forward in leaps and bounds with new computer modeling technologies, big data, and the advent of artificial intelligence for the shaping of that data into effect and dynamic mathematical and physical models.  R&D in this area in the past few years, in particular, has led to some fascinating research papers in the EOR TCP database.

Emerging Technologies

Emerging technologies are just that – methods of EOR that are cutting edge, innovative and lead to emissions reductions and better energy efficiencies during extraction of hydrocarbons.
