Integrated characterization of Permian Basin reservoirs, university lands, West Texas: targeting the remaining resource for advanced oil recovery Integrated characterization of Permian Basin reservoirs, university lands, West Texas: targeting the remaining resource for advanced oil recovery 1991

Unrecovered mobile oil is oil that is movable at reservoir conditions but is prevented from migrating to existing we1 l bores because of geologic complexities or heterogeneities.
