Enhanced oil recovery is one of the most important ways of increasing the efficiency of use of raw materials in the chain "from the wellhead to the gas station". It allows increasing crude production at the existing fields and rationally developing new ones. The article describes methods of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), evaluation of economic effect of this trend. The paper analyzes domestic and foreign experience of enhanced oil recovery. The author considers the ability to create a technology-based EOR complex of knowledge-intensive industries.
Keywords: oil and gas industry, hydrocarbon feedstock, enhanced oil recovery
