TORP has developed a research facility at the
University of Kansas equipped to handle laboratory experiments related
to oil recovery. TORP has a long history of conducting basic research
on gelled polymer systems that assist in controlling fluid movement in
the reservoir, the study of the use of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil
recovery in Kansas reservoirs and they maintain a state-of-the-art
reservoir simulator used to computer model the performance of these
enhanced oil recovery processes.
