Chemically Enhanced Oil Recovery Stages a Comeback The American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) explores the opportunities for EOR in an Inform article - Chemically enhanced oil recovery stages a comeback - published on the society’s website. "Here is one more statistic that signals unparalleled opportunity for surfactants researchers and manufacturers: Only about 30% of available oil and gas has been extracted from most existing wells. That leaves chemically enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) on the short list of methods available to boost oil production in the secondary and tertiary phases of oil recovery. More information >
BrightWater® technology available through TIORCO Brightwater is a sub-micron particulate chemistry to provide in-depth diversion of water flow in the reservoir, directing injection water into trapped, oil-rich zones. More information >
Treatments Cut Water, Boost Oil Rates in Offshore California Platform Ben Turner, TIORCO and Bob Zahner, Venoco co-authored an article that appeared in the June 2009 issue of American Oil & Gas Reporter. The article describes how TIORCO’s pumping unit was successfully utilized to pump polymer gels for water shutoff treatments on the Venoco platform Gail, in the Sockeye Field, offshore Santa Barbara, California.

Fully Integrated, Enhanced Oil Recovery
TIORCO – The Integrated Oil Recovery Company - designs, develops and provides chemically enhanced oil recovery technologies that increase the effectiveness of oil and gas field waterflooding and improve recovery. TIORCO processes have been successfully applied in oil and gas producing formations worldwide, from North and South America to Russia, China and Asia. The result has been the production of more than 100 million barrels of incremental oil from North American reservoirs alone.
TIORCO’s proven ability to take an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project from concept to completion has made the firm one of the most respected providers of chemically enhanced EOR services in the world.
