INTROGUCTION:
There are other methods used in the manufacture of oil and gas products besides enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This is due to the fact that different techniques, such as primary and secondary recovery techniques, may be employed to extract oil from the ground or soil before it is used. When neither of the aforementioned methods can be employed to extract oil from the ground, improved oils recovery is used instead. Moreover, studies have shown that enhanced oil recovery is particularly effective because it increases extraction rates by up to 60% compared to both primary and secondary oil recovery systems’ 30% capacity.
