EORO typically stands for "Enhanced Oil Recovery Operations," a set of techniques and methods used in the oil and gas industry to extract additional hydrocarbons from reservoirs that have already undergone primary and secondary recovery processes. As conventional extraction methods deplete easily accessible oil reserves, EORO methods become crucial for maximizing resource recovery and extending the productive life of oil fields. EORO techniques include various injection methods such as gas injection (such as CO2 or natural gas), chemical injection (such as surfactants or polymers), and thermal methods (such as steam injection or in-situ combustion). These methods aim to alter the properties of the reservoir fluid or the reservoir itself to enhance oil mobility and displacement efficiency, allowing for the recovery of trapped or residual oil. EORO operations require significant capital investment, technical expertise, and careful reservoir characterization to optimize production and minimize environmental impact. Despite these challenges, EORO has become increasingly important in the oil and gas industry as companies seek to maximize the value of existing assets and meet growing global energy demands while striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental footprint associated with fossil fuel extraction and production.
