Enhanced Oil Recovery

Oil and gas fields are not always easy to develop. Difficult technical conditions are often a complicating factor. Our experience gathered in Germany has allowed us to build strong expertise in sophisticated production and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques.

By successfully introducing steam flood technology at Emlichheimin 1981, we have been able to maintain the oil field's constant production for 60 years. In addition, together with BASF, our experts are working on innovative methods for the ever more challenging exploration and production processes.

Steam Flooding

To keep production in Emlichheim constantly at a high level we use a special technique.
