Fossil fuels, especially petroleum, are still the primary energy source all over
the world. With the advent of hydraulic fracturing (i.e. "fracking"),
directional drilling, and other technological advances, petroleum and reservoir
engineers all over the world have been able to produce much greater results, in
much more difficult areas, than ever before, to meet higher global demand.
"Enhanced oil recovery (EOR)" is one of the hottest and most important topics in
this industry. New technologies and processes must be continually discovered and
developed, even as renewable energy begins to grow and become more fruitful, as
the demand for more and more energy continues to grow worldwide.
