    Abstract: In this paper, the progresses of understanding of the enzymes application in hydrocarbon production from extensive experimental and field studies are reviewed. Enzyme enhanced oil recovery is an emerging method of improving oil production in an environmentally friendly way, but the mechanisms underlying this process are not clearly understood. Also...

    Abstract: Water flooding performance evaluation and recovery prediction with relatively easy tools has always been among the top aims of reservoir engineering studies, especially for mature reservoirs in high water-cut period. Relative permeability curves are basic required properties reflecting multi-phase flow characteristic and used together with producti... Show More
