artificial lifts, for example, pump jacks. The secondary recovery utilizes water and gas injection, dislodging the oil and driving it to the surface. US Department of Energy stated that by using these two systems can leave up to 75% of the oil in the well. The best approach to further increase oil production is through the tertiary recovery technique which is Chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR). CEOR has been labeled as an expensive method and…

Sounds amazing, right? What could possibly go wrong? Fracking firstly requires a lot of water and…
