Enchancing oil recovery techniques

摘要

BP IS NOW operating the world's first robotic coreflooding system. The Core Flood Robot is the most recent addition to BP's programme of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) research facilities. Coreflooding is one of the most important techniques used to identify and evaluate EOR technologies. It measures the effectiveness of water or gas injected into an oil-bearing rock sample to displace oil. This can be used to assess the potential for water flooding in an oil field.
