natural depletion The method of recovering hydrocarbons that utilizes energies naturally occuring in the reservoir. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
waterflood The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves displacing hydrocarbon fluids by injected water. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
pressure maintenance The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves injecting fluids into a reservoir to maintain reservoir pressure, usually into a gas cap. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
steam flood The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves displacing hydrocarbon fluids by injected steam. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
steam soak The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves heating and mobilizing hydrocarbons in a cyclic process involving steam injection, a shut-in period, and fluid production. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
polymer flood The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves displacing hydrocarbon fluids by injected water. augmented with polymers to improve sweep or decrease mobility. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
miscible flood The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves displacing hydrocarbon fluids by injected fluids that are designed to achieve partial or complete miscibility at reservoir conditions. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
surfactant flood The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves displacing hydrocarbon fluids by fluids designed to reduce final hydrocarbon residual saturation using surface active agents. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
caustic flood The method of recovering hydrocarbons that involves displacing hydrocarbon fluids by fluids designed to reduce final hydrocarbon residual saturation using naturally occuring acids within the hydrocarbon system. POSC epicentre 2.1 current
