Laboratory of Enhanced Oil Recovery

The Lab studies eco-friendly, energy-efficient and cost-efficient technologies for the production of non-traditional deposits

The main research area are reagents for surfactant-polymer flooding and catalytic systems for the extraction of hard-to-recover reserves (‘underground oil refining’)

• Surfactants for chemical techniques of enhanced oil extraction
• Catalysts for oxidation and in-situ refining
• Complex technologies of gas injection with complication reduction control
• Gel particles for oil displacement profile alignment and water inflow limitation
• Binary mixes for intensified extraction and efficient fracking

Oil production

Patnerships are in place with Tatneft, Zarubezhneft, Lukoil, Rosneft, Gazpromneft, Novatek, and other companies.
