About
The Hibernia Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Lab contains a multidisciplinary team of researchers dedicated to providing laboratory and simulation support to the EOR activities of the local oil and gas industry and to solving fundamental problems of multiphase flow. The group encompasses researchers from the areas of pore-scale physics, reservoir engineering, mathematics, rock mechanics and sedimentology.
The EOR Lab investigates how to recover as much oil as possible from offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. The EOR Lab recovers 5-15 percent additional oil from already producing oil fields that potentially add hundreds and millions of barrels of oil to Newfoundland and Labrador's oil and gas industry.
