SPE Improved Oil Recovery Conference
I am pleased to welcome you to the SPE IOR 2022 website. The Twenty-Third Conference on Improved Oil Recovery will be held online from April 25th-29th 2022. The Conference is sponsored by the Mid-Continent Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The theme of the 2022 conference is IOR: Thrive in a Low Carbon Economy. Today’s energy industry is working diligently to reduce emissions and waste across all oil and gas industry sectors. As far back as the early 1970s for CO2 and 1920s for water floods, the oil industry has successfully utilized traditional IOR and EOR field applications to maximize oilfield recoveries economically, while reducing its carbon and waste footprint. Similar to the adoption of modern completion techniques and horizontal drilling over the past twenty years, the industry must reinvigorate and reinvent new successes for IOR in both conventional and unconventional oil fields. IOR and EOR technologies presented at this conference will enable the industry to better allocate capital to supply the world with clean, affordable, and reliable energy, while reducing waste by reusing common field byproducts. I invite you to sponsor an event, take a short course, exhibit your services or products, and I look forward to meeting you at the virtual conference.
