Method of Tertiary Recovery In The Oil Industry

This seminar research focuses on the methods involved in tertiary recovery in the oil industry. A technique used to extract the remaining oil from previously drilled and less desirable reservoir where primary and secondary extraction methods are no longer effective is known as tertiary recovery. The various processes employed to achieve enhanced oil recovery (EOR) includes, chemical flooding, gas injection,
