Various efforts to apply EOR methods have been carried out in the country either in laboratories, pilot projects, field trials, or full field scale operations during the last several decades. Indonesia was one of the very few countries who have experience in steamflooding operation. In terms of production, Duri Field where the steamflood has been applied for more than 30 years is still the largest steamflooding project in the world. The project has triggered other EOR methods such as gas injection, chemical injection, microbial injection, seismic vibration and electrical methods to develop for various mature fields. Currently, steamflooding is still the leading EOR method applied in Indonesia while chemical and gas injection are emerging as potential methods to improve oil recovery in the near future. Other methods such as microbial injection, seismic vibration, and electrical methods are still under research and field trial before their full implementation in the future.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Current status,Electrical methods,Enhanced oil recovery,Improve oil recovery,Pilot projects,Potential methods,Seismic vibrations,Steamflooding[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Chemical injection,Enhanced oil recovery,EOR,Gas injection,Microbial injection,Seismic vibration,Steamflooding[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work was supported by the Energy Resources R&D Program of the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP) grant funded by the Korean Government and Ministry of Knowledge Economy.
