The Tertiary Oil Recovery Project (TORP) was established in 1974 by the State of Kansas to acquaint Kansas producers with the technical and economic potential of enhanced recovery methods for Kansas oil and gas fields.

Project Objectives

• Identify and evaluate the potential for the application of enhanced recovery processes in Kansas reservoirs.
• Research and development of processes that are applicable to Kansas reservoirs.
• Investigate the application of reservoir engineering and geology for characterization of Kansas reservoirs.
• Dissemination of technical information to the Kansas oil industry.
• Conduct a viable program of technology transfer for the industry.
• Develop and provide technical assistance on field tests and demonstration projects.
• Educate students and operators in enhanced recovery processes and efficient reservoir and operations management.
