The EAGE community on Enhancing Hydrocarbon Recovery for Sustainability is the network of members interested in sharing knowledge and developing skills among geoscientists and engineers working on Improved and/or Enhanced Oil Recovery projects, technologies and carbon footprint optimization.
This group also deals with the decarbonization aspects of IOR/EOR, including transferable skills and reskilling.

The community will represent the efforts the Oil and Gas sector is dedicating to improve and enhance hydrocarbon recovery processes in a sustainable way, showing that it is possible to advance while reducing gasses emission and being environmentally responsible, opening the door to other energies, but remaining strong in our processes".
As oil and gas will make up some portion of the energy mix for some time yet, it is imperative that it is produced as cleanly and efficiently as possible. This can be achieved through EOR/IOR techniques, which can recover a larger percentage of the hydrocarbons in place, at a lower water cut and over a shorter period of time – resulting in a lower carbon footprint of the operation. This community promotes the sharing of the technical knowledge of these complex techniques to facilitate future EOR/IOR implementations”.
Activities
- Participation at the 86th EAGE Annual Conference with the Dedicated Session ‘EOR During the Energy Transition’ (Tuesday, 3 June 2025 from 9:00-12:00 CEST).
- Contributions to EAGE events, such as the Third EAGE Workshop on EOR (3-4 October 2024, Buenos Aires, Argentina) and the 23rd European IOR+ Symposium (2-4 April 2025, Edinburgh, UK).
- Local events and collaborations.
- News, career advice and vacancies.
