 Enhanced oil recovery is an important technology to make the most out of our assets. Industry recovers an average of around 35% of oil from reservoirs. The rest remains trapped in the rock. Boosting oil recovery could unlock around 300 billion barrels of oil, according to the International Energy Agency. Shell is a leader in this area and has a portfolio of technologies to optimise oil recovery. Using enhanced oil recovery (EOR), we try to get more oil out of existing reservoirs. See how Shell used EOR to help meet consumers’ growing need for energy.
