Getting extra oil is really simple
Energy Report-SW details enhanced oil recovery as a costly, niche approach. It notes primary oil leaves over 60 percent in formations, outlines secondary and tertiary methods like water flooding, steam drive, and carbon dioxide injection, and cites price sensitivity with a $7.66 world oil price. Experts warn funding is scarce and success hinges on oil reaching around $20 per barrel.

EOR projects span polymers to in situ fire flood
In 1976 ERDA data show 33 million dollars allocated to enhanced oil recovery. Projects include a micellar polymer test in Kansas with Cities Service, polymer and micellar polymer work in Oklahoma with Kewanee and Phillips Petroleum, and in situ combustion in Zavala County Texas with Hanover. A New Mexico proposal is under redesign while Montoya seeks price relief to spur more EOR work. Free Energy World notes geothermal power potential at about one million kilowatts, with geologists predicting possible tenfold growth. Charles Willson Peale, master colonial portraitist, rose to prominence after training with Copley and West. Hancock commissioned portraits of George and Martha Washington in 1776. The World Almanac recalls Gal Cin.
