(Created page with "== Introduction == Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) refers to a set of techniques used to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field. These methods are employed after primary and secondary recovery techniques have been exhausted, typically when the natural pressure of the reservoir has declined. EOR is crucial for maximizing the output of mature oil fields and involves complex processes that require a deep understanding of reservoir engineer...") |

* **In-Situ Combustion**: Also known as fire flooding, this method involves igniting a portion of the oil in the reservoir to generate heat, which then reduces the viscosity of the surrounding oil. | * **In-Situ Combustion**: Also known as fire flooding, this method involves igniting a portion of the oil in the reservoir to generate heat, which then reduces the viscosity of the surrounding oil. | ||
