Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the technique or process where the physicochemical (physical and chemical) properties of the rock are changed to enhance the recovery of hydrocarbon. The properties of the reservoir fluid system which are affected by EOR process are chemical, biochemical, density, miscibility, interfacial tension (IFT)/surface tension (ST), viscosity and thermal.

Modern government is under great financial strain. It has become increasingly common for foundations and other philanthropic organizations to fill in financial gaps created by a lack of government services. Look no further than the Flint water crisis. After an audit project revealed a $25 million dollar deficit for the city of Flint, the state took over. In a desperate attempt to save money, the city switched water pipelines to deliver water from Lake Huron. We now know how disastrous that decision was. A group of foundations, led by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, pledged over $125 million in aid over five years starting in 2016 to help cover the large bill after delayed government action.
