EOR Strategy

Enhanced Oil Recovery This is probably the easiest part of the syllabus to cover. But make sure that you cover it well to harness the full advantage. Believe it or not, your job is done with only the few pages of the two pdfs provided by Abhishek Gupta Sir. 1. While the hand written notes cover mostly the theoretical aspects of EOR, the University paper covers the conceptual parts. Multiple readings of the latter are advised. Pay special attention to concept of miscible flooding which is lucid in the text. Sometimes match the following type questions may be expected from screening criteria.

2. Making concise notes for the theoretical parts is strongly advised, given the cost to benefit ratio. This is indeed a mark fetching section with a potential for a lot of questions being asked. Ignore it at your own risk.

3. I will upload additional material for a detailed discussion on concepts like mobility ratio, sweep efficiency, Lorentz coefficient and different EOR methods. This should not be an optional reading, but read it only after finishing the above material. You will then be able to supplement the preliminary knowledge with additional concepts and facts.

4. Do not go for any specialized books on EOR!! GATE will never ask anything beyond the material that has been discussed.
