Abstract

Advances in reservoir engineering have significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of oil and gas recovery methods. Recent innovations in reservoir characterization, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, and reservoir management practices have led to higher recovery factors, extended field lifespans, and optimized production. Key developments include the integration of advanced simulation models, machine learning for predictive analytics, and the use of novel chemicals and fluids for EOR processes. Furthermore, the application of real-time monitoring systems and improved drilling technologies has allowed operators to make better-informed decisions, reducing operational risks and increasing recovery rates. This paper reviews the latest advancements in reservoir engineering, focusing on technological innovations, their impact on recovery efficiency, and future trends in the industry.
