Thermal EOR was the most dominant technology and accounted for 49.9% of total market volume in 2013. Growing demand for high hydrocarbon recovery in low permeability and mature reserves coupled with technological advancements is expected to drive growth in this segment. It is the most conventional EOR technology used today and has reached its maturity level. However, thermal EOR technologies are expected to lose some amount of its share to other high growth technologies such as chemical and gas injection techniques over the forecast period. Chemical EOR technique is estimated to gain market share over the next few years particularly in Asia Pacific and Middle East. Novel techniques coupled with superior characteristics over their counterparts are expected to drive chemical EOR market over the forecast period.
