Primary recovery

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002934

The initial phase of oil and gas production where hydrocarbons are recovered from a reservoir using only natural reservoir energy. This energy can come from dissolved gas drive, water drive, gas cap expansion, or gravity drainage. The recovery factor during this phase typically ranges from 5% to 30% of the original oil in place.
