4.

The professional community generally refers to which of the following well-varied methods as modern EORs?

Physicochemical methods
Heat (thermal) methods
Gas displacement
All of the above
5. The applicability of EOR technologies depends, very broadly, on two factors; the depth of the reservoirs and the physicochemical properties of oil, primarily gravity and viscosity.
True
False
6. Delays in EOR technology upgrades may substantially reduce budget revenues, which would otherwise be available, owing to __________________________ of the following?
Gains in recoverable reserves with no exploration costs
Increased production of “stranded” oil in mature regions
Developing local high technologies and services
All of the above
7. From 2000 to 2011, the share of hard-to-recover oil reserves in Russia increased from 56% to 62%, while production grew only from 3% to 8%. This trend, resulting in shrinkage and deterioration of the resource base, is most evident in ________ oil regions.
Extinct
Newer
Mature
None of the above
8. What does the following figure represent?
Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods in Russia
Price of oil
Oil Production costs
Different types of oil and their prices
None of the above
9.

Despite persisting challenges, many Russian VIOCs realize the importance of EOR for their long-term growth and are considering involvement in modern EOR projects to target which of the following?

Tight light oil plays
Heavy oil and natural oil bitumen
Complex carbonate reservoirs
All of the above
10. Transitioning from revenue-based to profits-based taxation of mining income (a windfall tax) would create long-term economic incentives and enable the full-scale deployment of advanced oil extraction technologies.
True
False
