The Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute (EORI) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for collaborative project work with operators of Wyoming fields.
Through this RFP, EORI will provide financial and technical support for implementation of new, pilot-scale processes/technologies focused on improving oil recovery (IOR) in Cretaceous, Permian, Pennsylvanian and Mississippian sandstone reservoirs.
For purposes of this RFP, IOR refers to improving primary and secondary recovery, well stimulation, acidizing, conformance and sweep improvements, clay stabilization, etc. Examples of specific IOR processes of interest to EORI include polymer augmented flooding to overcome adverse mobility ratios and high permeability variations in reservoir layers or chemical treatments to reduce the impact of reactive clays on well injectivity.
Proposals will be accepted from October 16, 2023 - December 15, 2023 with the final project selection on January 31, 2024.
If you have questions regarding this solicitation or if you need more information, please email Eric Robertson at
EORI is Wyoming’s only institution fully committed to improving and enhancing recovery of hydrocarbons and to minimize stranded, unproduced oil and gas in Wyoming fields as rapidly, responsibly, and economically as possible.
Key to the Mission of EORI is collaborative work with Wyoming oil and gas producers to ensure the effective and efficient transfer of relevant technology, information, and knowledge. EORI is focused on field demonstrations, pilot projects, and technical sub-surface and reservoir evaluation to assist Wyoming operators with field development.
