Abstract
The success of EOR projects in targeting residual reserves in mature fields strongly depends on having an adequate description of both remaining oil distribution (ROS) and reservoir heterogeneity to correctly locate EOR objectives. As a consequence, many projects are incorporating the use of tracers to better characterize candidate fields and to identify, among others, remaining oil and the existence of preferential flow paths or flow barriers that could affect EOR recovery.
