With the increase in energy demand in years to come and the decrease in oil discoveries during the last decades, it is believed that the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies will play an important role in energy balance. This paper presents a full review of EOR status and opportunities to increase the recovery factors in some typical reservoirs known as in-situ combustion, CO2 flooding, hydrocarbon flooding, water flooding… These methods were applied to the lower Miocene reservoir at the Bach Ho (White Tiger) oil field. Several parameters including produced oil characteristics, oil production rate, reservoir depth, etc. were considered. It was observed from some preliminary results that the immiscible gas injection is the most feasible and practical EOR method for the Bach Ho oil field.
