Project Abstract

Abstract
The global demand for energy continues to rise, leading to a sustained interest in enhancing oil recovery techniques to maximize production from mature oilfields. This research project focuses on conducting a comparative study of various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to determine their effectiveness in mature oilfields. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the most suitable EOR methods for maximizing oil recovery in these fields, ultimately contributing to the sustainability and efficiency of oil production operations.
