Enhanced Oil Recovery Insights: IOR/EOR Potential at Black Bank Field (Muddy)

EORI is hosting a new Enhanced Oil Recovery Insights event "An Integrated Approach to Reservoir Characterization for IOR/EOR Potential at Black Bank Field (Muddy)" from 8:00 – 10:00 AM on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026 at the True River Cross Commons.

Don't miss out on this chance to connect with industry leaders and peers.

Black Bank Field, located in the northernmost Wyoming, is at its economic limit unless adequate IOR/EOR methods can be implemented. Detailed subsurface mapping of the Muddy reservoir using sequence stratigraphic principles together with detailed core analyses and brine compatibility studies are helping to determine options for further actions. Finally, reservoir modeling and simulation are providing some insights into expected outcomes of various EOR strategies.
