New Oil Flow Research May Mean Improved Reservoir Yields
The amount of oil recoverable from reservoirs in deep rock formations could be improved, following a new discovery by scientists at the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt.

The phenomenon may also have applications in treating contamination in natural aquifers, which contain more than half of the world’s groundwater resources.
It could also help develop techniques for use in carbon capture and storage, a technology that buries carbon dioxide emissions in former oil and gas fields, preventing the release of greenhouse gases to atmosphere.
