Definition

A well drilled as part of an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) activity to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field.

Description

Using EOR (also termed 'tertiary recovery'), 30 to 60 percent, or more, of the reservoir's original oil can be extracted compared with 20 to 40 percent using primary and secondary recovery. Enhanced oil recovery is achieved by gas injection, chemical injection, ultrasonic stimulation, microbial injection, or thermal recovery (which includes cyclic steam, steamflooding, and fireflooding).
