Possible Applications of MEOR to the Arab Oil Fields
Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 1993 Large quantities of residual oil will remain in the Arab oil reservoirs after the primary recovery and water-flooding stages. Because of the large sizes of the Saudi oil fields (in particular), the amount of the residual oil will be enormous.
