  <dc:description>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) compared methods for estimating an incremental recovery factor (&lt;i&gt;RF&lt;/i&gt;) for the carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;-EOR) process involving the injection of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; into oil reservoirs. This chapter first provides some basic information on the &lt;i&gt;RF&lt;/i&gt;, including its dependence on various reservoir and operational parameters, and then discusses the three development phases of oil recovery—primary, second­ary, and tertiary (EOR). It ends with a brief discussion of the three approaches for estimating recovery factors, which are detailed in subsequent chapters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</dc:description>
