Significant oil reserves remain in many Minnelusa fields and detailed reservoir characterization is a key to developing optimal EOR strategies. Sequence stratigraphic principles have shown great promise in being able to adequately map flow units within these complex reservoirs and help indicate ways to improve production.  Not only can sequence stratigraphic mapping in the Minnelusa help improve production in existing fields, but together with modern 3D seismic data it may further improve EOR efforts as well as helping to locate new fields.

On November 13th, 2024 EORI held Enhanced Oil Recovery Insights featuring Tristan Houser, Vice President of Operations, Polymer Technologies and Troy Skitt – Operations Engineer, Merit Energy. The event topic was "Using Polymers for Water Control and Casing Leak Repairs."
