Highlights

Enhanced Oil Recovery Technology Aims to Address North Sea Production Drop

With North Sea production dropping each year, the UK is employing Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques in an effort to maximize the amount of oil that can be recovered from the area's matured reservoirs, says a new report from business intelligence providers GlobalData.

The study* states that North Sea oil and gas production has declined at an Annual Average Growth Rate (AAGR) of 7.7% between 2006 and 2011, from 2,599 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) to 1,772 MMboe.

Production levels are expected to decrease further still in the future, with major fields such as Ekofisk, Kvitebjorn and Elgin expected to witness declining output.

The UK, the leading North Sea producer in terms of the number of exploration blocks, will fight depleting hydrocarbon returns by introducing the Centre for North Sea Enhanced Oil Recovery, a facility announced in May 2012, wholly dedicated to EOR from the North Sea.
