Billions of barrels of oil may be potentially recoverable from residual oil zones in the US, according to initial findings from a study supported by the US Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE). Residual oil zones (ROZs), are areas of immobile oil found below the oil-water contact of a reservoir.
