Residual Oil Zone Type 3
What we’re doing here is we’re going to demonstrate the origin of the predominant type of residual oil zone in the Permian Basin. This is our source for the next generation of CO2 EOR production for oil. What we’ve got is a cross-section that we have adopted here in the Permian Basin. This would be […]
Residual Oil Zone Type 2
The oil and gas industry has learned in recent years that oil entrapments may have undergone some changes in their geologic past. It isn’t proper in many basins to think that the original stage of tectonics, which includes: burial, oil generation, and migration into a structurally high trap, might not have been altered by a […]
Residual Oil Zone Type 1
The oil and gas industry has come to recognize now that oil reservoirs and the sub-surface can undergo multiple stages of tectonics beyond the original one, which involves burial, oil generation in the original entrapment stage where oil moved into a structurally high trap in the sub-surface. Those multiple stages of tectonics can take one […]
Technology Indicates Permian May Have Triple The Oil Believed In Place
Technological advances are rewriting what experts thought they knew about Permian Basin oil fields. None more so than work now being done on residual oil zones, experts say.

Recognition and Exploitation of Residual Oil Zones Coming of Age
Studies sponsored by the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) have opened the door to a whole new set of opportunities for commercial development of residual oil zones (ROZs) throughout the world. The historical understanding of the zones beneath the oil/water contacts in reservoirs had been […]
