MEOR: Recovering Oil from Stripper Wells
December 27, 2017
Ageing oil wells are a growing challenge for the global oil industry. As reservoirs deplete, declining pressure reduces oil flow, leaving many wells classified as stripper wells, low-producing assets nearing the end of their economic life. Despite this, substantial residual oil remains trapped in these reservoirs. Conventional recovery methods are costly (USD 140,000–200,000 per well) and increasingly ineffective at higher depths and temperatures.
