is the implementation of various techniques for increasing the amount of crude

oil that can be extracted from an oil field. Enhanced oil recovery is also

called tertiary recovery (as opposed to primary and secondary recovery).

According to the US Department of Energy, there are three primary techniques

for EOR: thermal recovery, gas injection, and chemical injection Sometimes the

term quaternary recovery is used to refer to more advanced, speculative, EOR

techniques Using EOR, 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
