页岩革命可能导致国内非常规油藏产量激增，但斯伦贝谢有限公司（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SLB）EOR 技术总监 Omer Gurpinar 认为石油和天然气需要进行新的转型。

Gurpinar 指出，非常规油藏水力压裂的平均采收率约为 7%，Gurpinar 与 Hart Energy 讨论了将 EOR 方法引入非常规油田对于该行业的重要性。

“对于非常规项目，EOR 是必须的；这不是奢侈品。我们必须这样做，”他说。

Gurpinar 认为在非常规生产中实施 EOR 方法是一个“充满希望的挑战”。这个话题已经引起了那些对页岩气区 EOR 研究感兴趣的人的关注。

“总的来说，非常规石油采收率增长的势头如此之大，我预计甚至可能会制定并实施新的 EOR 计划，”他说。

Gurpinar 表示，如果非常规 EOR 努力继续增长，可以提供更多技术，这将使项目更加经济。

The shale revolution may have led to a surge of domestic production from unconventional reservoirs, but Omer Gurpinar, technical director of EOR for Schlumberger Ltd. (NYSE: SLB), sees the need for a new transformation in oil and gas.

Pointing to an estimated average 7% recovery factor with hydraulic fracturing for unconventional reservoirs, Gurpinar spoke with Hart Energy about how bringing EOR methods to unconventionals is crucial for the industry.

“For unconventionals, EOR is a must; it’s not a luxury. We have to do it,” he said.

Gurpinar views the implementation of EOR methods in unconventional production as a “promising challenge.” The topic is already gaining attention from those interested in EOR research in shale plays.

“Basically, the momentum for increasing recovery factors for unconventionals are so high that I’m expecting there could be even new EOR schemes being created and being implemented,” he said.

If EOR efforts in unconventionals continue to grow, Gurpinar said additional technologies could be made available which would make projects much more economical.
