Abstract
Among the leading emerging technologies for in-situ oil recovery is the use of an electrokinetic technology<br>known as electrically enhanced oil recovery (EEOR™)i. Electrokinetic methods are continually tested and<br>improved both in the laboratory and in the field to render them highly feasible for increased oil recovery. The<br>effectiveness of the process to enhance the flow and production of both light and heavy crude oil from sandstone<br>reservoirs have been demonstrated in the laboratory by researchers for the last four decades.
