Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are crucial for maximizing hydrocarbon production in offshore oil fields. This thesis presents a quantitative analysis of various EOR techniques employed in offshore fields to improve oil recovery rates. The study focuses on understanding the effectiveness and efficiency of these techniques in enhancing oil production while considering the unique challenges presented by offshore environments. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, data collection, analysis, and interpretation to provide insights into the optimal application of EOR techniques in offshore fields.
