EOR/IOR terminology – time for a (real) change? EOR vs. IOR – Time for a Change. On August 1, 2024, the SPE community issued a call for public input on proposed changes to IOR/EOR terminology. Surveys revealed a limited understanding of these terms, highlighting the need for clearer definitions. However, the new proposals—introducing an additional term, AOR (Assisted Oil Recovery)—have raised concerns about adding […]
