报告内容摘要：
    With the world’s energy demand estimated to double by 2050, oil and gas will continue to play an important role in the energy picture for the foreseeable future. Since relatively easy-to-produce oil and gas has largely gone, there is need to focus on the more difficult hydrocarbons and on increasing recovery factors from existing fields. 
    A great industry challenge exists to increase oilfield recovery factors from the current average level of just over 30% - which means for every barrel of oil produced, 2 barrels are left behind. This challenge becomes, in turn, a unique opportunity for petroleum engineers and geoscientists to make a sizeable contribution to additional reserves through Improved and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). 
    Enhanced Oil Recovery includes technologies that change the physical properties of injected and/or reservoir fluids (e.g. via thermal, chemical or miscible gas injections) – in addition to other Improved Oil Recovery methods such as better reservoir management, infill drilling, workovers and production optimization.
    Advances in technology in many areas all contribute to the realization of the EOR promise. We will discuss some examples: fractured carbonate reservoirs, chemical and gas EOR, and energy-efficient thermal EOR. The EOR work scope starts with detailed field reviews followed by extensive laboratory tests, advanced EOR modeling in sector and full field models, and field trials to de-risk the opportunity. Once the feasibility study has been successfully concluded the field operating unit can initiate field developments. A full suite of well and reservoir monitoring technologies have been developed to understand sweep and flood front development which is fundamental for the success of any EOR project.
    A successful EOR practice requires a number of long-term commitments in human and capital resources, technology R&D and deployment, and focus on sustainable development such as energy efficiency and minimization of CO2 footprint.
