    This document provides an overview of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, including classifications of hydrocarbons and EOR processes/methods. It discusses using EOR to add to oil reserves and describes various EOR methods like water flooding, polymer flooding, miscible flooding using carbon dioxide, insitu combustion, and their mechanisms for improving oil recovery. Key factors that impact EOR projects like reservoir characteristics, permeability, sweep efficiency, and recovery factors are also summarized.
