    This literature review contains 3 sources on enhanced oil recovery techniques. The first source from 1978 discusses using nitrogen injection to drive oil recovery. The second source from 2006 examines using immiscible CO2 and flue gas injection in an alternating process with water to enhance recovery. The third and most recent source from 2007 proposes heating CO2 above reservoir temperatures to reduce oil viscosity and thereby improve recovery.

    ABSTRACT

    1.

    Nitrogen injection for


    enhanced oil recovery

    R.Wuensche

    197
    8

    As nitrogen is readily
    available in numerous
    forms ,it is used as a
    driving gas and it is
    injected into the
    reservoir at high
    pressure rate.

    2.

    Enhanced oil recovery


    by immiscible WAG
    injection

    The technical
    feasibility of using
    CO2 and enriched flue
    gas in an immiscible
    Water Alternating
    Gas(WAG) injection in
    those oil reservoirs.

    3.

    Enhanced oil recovery


    by hot CO2 flooding

    CO2 will be
    superheated above
    the reservoir
    temperature to
    reduce the oil
