Initiatives: IOR/ EOR

IOR/EOR Schemes in 15 major fields of ONGC have been
under implementation since 2001
IOR/ EOR campaign & redevelopment projects with
investment more than Rs 30,000 Crores
This initiative has helped to arrest the natural decline to
great extent and raised the recovery factor from these
fields from 27.5% in 2001 to 32.5% in 2009.

Summary
y

Absorption of technological advancements in G & G,

engineering, drilling and completion of hi-tech wells has
boosted the production and improved recovery.

Life cycle approach has helped to continue production and

recovery improvement from the matured offshore fields.

With integration of the experience gained and leveraging

state-of-the art technology, it is envisioned that it will be
possible to improve performance and further enhance the
oil recovery.
