The main influencing factors of recovery include formation heterogeneity, reservoir wettability, oil–water ratio, capillary number, and well pattern arrangement. Then, the EOR methods, such as water flooding, chemical flooding, miscible flooding, thermal recovery, and microbial recovery, are introduced. Finally, the future development direction of EOR is prospected.Read More
