News CSEE Webinar Series: Kishore Mohanty, Chemical Techniques to Improve Oil Recovery from Oil Shales 6 November 2020 The oil recovery can be increased by energizing the oil, increasing oil permeability in the matrix, and enhancing the microfracture conductivity. Chemical blend and gas mixture huff-n-puff energize the oil and increase near fracture matrix permeability. Hydrothermal reactions can generate proppants in situ and increase the conductivity of microfractures...
