Enhanced Oil Recovery
Engineering, design, and optimization of CO₂-based enhanced oil recovery projects — from polymer flood facilities to full-field EOR integration.
- Overview
Engineering and design of advanced recovery systems for mature oil fields.
Gas Liquids Engineering (GLE) provides engineering services for a wide range of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, supporting operators in increasing recovery factors, extending field life, and optimizing reservoir performance. With extensive experience in gas, water-based, and chemical injection recovery systems, GLE delivers practical, constructible surface-facility solutions tailored to reservoir objectives and operating conditions.
GLE’s EOR experience spans miscible and immiscible CO₂ flood, water-alternating-gas (WAG), polymer flood, alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP), water flood, solution gas injection, and associated compression and pipeline systems.

Brownfield Modifications & Facility Expansion
Many EOR programs are implemented within operating fields. GLE has extensive experience executing:
- Retrofits of existing batteries for polymer or chemical injection
- Injection pump expansions and new high-pressure skids
- Tie-ins to active production and injection wells
- Integration of new compression systems
- Modular skid installations to minimize downtime
- Control system upgrades for automated injection management
- Projects are structured to support construction during scheduled turnarounds wherever possible, minimizing disruption to ongoing production.
