| | Because of the wide dissimilarity in rock and fluid properties, combined primary and secondary reservoir recovery factors of 30 to 40% of original oil in place are considered good. This leaves 60 to 70% of the original oil in place as the target for augmented-recovery methods. Since the injection of any fluid into a reservoir is expensive, either low-cost injectants or high increased recovery factors are needed to ensure good economics.
