The Weyburn and Midale oil fields were discovered in 1954 near Midale, Saskatchewan. The Weyburn Oilfield covers an area of some 52,000 acres (210 km 2) and has a current oil production rate of ~3,067 m3/day. Original oil-in-place is estimated to be 1.4 billion barrels (220,000,000 m 3). The oil is produced from a total of 963 active wells made ...
Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR), also called tertiary recovery, is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot be extracted otherwise. Whereas primary and secondary recovery techniques rely on the pressure differential between the surface and the underground well, enhanced oil recovery functions by altering the physical or ...
Around 80% of the CO 2 captured annually is used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a process by which CO 2 is injected into partially-depleted oil reservoirs in order to extract more oil and then is largely left underground. [2] Since EOR utilizes the CO 2 in addition to storing it, CCS is also known as carbon capture, utilization, and storage ...

Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors. Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) is a set of published rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progress") during treatment. The criteria were published in February 2000 by an international collaboration ...
Well stimulation is a broad term used to describe the various techniques and well interventions that can be used to restore or enhance the production of hydrocarbons from an oil well. Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and acidizing are two of the most common methods for well stimulation. These well stimulation techniques help create pathways for ...
In humans, AADC is also the rate-limiting enzyme in the formation of trace amines. Aromatic L -amino acid decarboxylase deficiency is associated with various symptoms as severe developmental delay, oculogyric crises and autonomic dysfunction. The molecular and clinical spectrum of AAAC deficiency is heterogeneous.
In enzymology, aldose reductase (or aldehyde reductase) (EC 1.1.1.21) is an enzyme in humans encoded by the gene AKR1B1.It is an cytosolic NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reduction of a variety of aldehydes and carbonyls, including monosaccharides, and primarily known for catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol, the first step in polyol pathway of glucose metabolism.
