Oxy is an industry leader in making the most of oilfield technology to produce more oil and natural gas, efficiently and safely. Effective use of advanced technologies is integral to Oxy's success in boosting production rates and achieving operational goals while being a responsible steward of the environment.
We invest in state-of-the-art equipment to find energy sources, bring them to the earth's surface and monitor their long journey from deep underground to product delivery. Technology plays an integral role in every phase of this process, from exploration to field development to operations management. Advanced technologies contribute to top performance in such areas as reservoir description and modeling; well construction; field automation; artificial lift technology; well and equipment maintenance; advanced technology and land management.
Oxy sets the industry standard for use of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) – using the latest techniques to release hard-to-reach oil and extend the life of mature fields. For example, one of the most effective EOR techniques is carbon dioxide flooding. Oxy has more CO2 facilities than any other oil company and is a leader in CO2 recovery technologies.
Working collaboratively, Oxy engineers, geoscientists and technicians combine expertise and ingenuity with cutting-edge technology to achieve the results that define Oxy's success.
