Understanding Onshore Oil Extraction — One Layer at a Time
This small-scale model of an onshore oil field is more than just a neat demo — it's a reminder of how complex and resource-intensive oil extraction has become.
And here's the thing: in many mature onshore fields, these steps are no longer enough. We’ve exhausted primary and secondary recovery methods. Today, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) — involving steam, chemicals, or gas injections — is often the only viable path to extract what’s left.
This shift tells us something crucial: the future of energy lies not in squeezing more out of tired fields, but in rethinking how we produce and consume energy altogether.
