Abstract

With the continuous exploitation of conventional oil and gas resources, its recoverable reserves are gradually decreasing, and the difficulty of exploitation is increasing day by day. Tight oil and gas resources show great development potential and have gradually become new important strategic resources supporting sustainable development. This paper reviews several EOR technologies at home and abroad from the aspects of tight reservoir research status and characteristics, hoping to provide reference for domestic tight reservoir development technology.
