Polymer gels are increasingly being integrated into enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies to address the challenges posed by heterogeneity in mature reservoirs. Designed as cross‐linked polymer ...

Most Wyoming oil fields are aging and declining in production, so increasing production through enhanced oil recovery methods can have an important positive effect of Wyoming’s total oil production, ...

A new method for enhanced oil recovery proposed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin is showing promising results in modeling studies—producing more oil, storing more carbon, and doing ...

CASPER — The Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Minerals, Business and Economic Development Committee on Monday advanced a stimulus bill that could boost the state’s enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a production ...

SAN ANTONIO — June 23, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have evaluated a promising approach to improve long-term carbon storage in depleted ...
