Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

This post will disappear soon and then will be linked at the sidebar on the right.

There is not much activity in North Dakota yet on enhanced oil recovery, but more and more stories are starting to appear, so I might as well get ready for them.

  1. Currently, I am wondering if anyone has any idea about what the EPA is going to require in terms of water cleanup in field operations, whether the well is fracked or not.

    My associates and I are working a new oil/water separation technology that would speed up well flows, and separate out the oil, water, gas, minerals.

    It's a new in-line, electronic process. Early tests show the water as potable, good for irrigation. We will add membranes if needed to get it even cleaner. But the concern here is are we all trying to hit a moving target? I would appreciate any feedback.

    Thanks!

  2. Since some folks may not see comments, I have also asked the question in a stand-alone post. Hopefully this all works out.

    2. Hopefully you will hear something. I don't get a lot of replies / comments, but maybe someone will have something for you.

      Just after getting your first note earlier today, I saw this at Rigzone:

      I have no idea if this has any relevance.
