Enhanced Oil Recovery 2019

Dear Colleagues,

Enhanced/improved oil recovery (EOR/IOR) remains an area of great interest for the oil and gas industry from a commercial standpoint, as well as a viable set of technologies that can substantially increase reserves. Progress has been made through research and development activities, but that alone will not lead to success in commercial applications. A combination of R&D aimed at unveiling recovery mechanisms of traditional and novel processes, on the one hand, and field experiences, on the other hand, is necessary to unlock the potential of this type of technology. Contrasting experiences from various regions creates an opportunity to explore new and novel applications of traditional and emerging technologies. This Special Issue welcomes research studies on EOR/IOR mechanisms, proofs of concept on novel methods, field cases, portfolio analysis, regional or national EOR targets, and new modeling methods (particularly those that effectively enable simulation of important mechanisms), among other EOR/IOR-related topics. Original contributions and truly critical review contributions are welcome.
