Tertiary Oil Recovery Program (TORP)
TORP's Vision
TORP works to evaluate the full potential of the oil and gas recovery processes in Kansas. This includes tertiary oil recovery as well as more standard technologies such as waterflooding. TORP is equipped to investigate the potential for other subsurface energy ventures such as natural hydrogen, CCUS, Enhanced Geothermal System and Critical Minerals.
TORP History
The Tertiary Oil Recovery Project (TORP) was established in 1974 by the State of Kansas to acquaint Kansas producers with the technical and economic potential of enhanced recovery methods for Kansas oil and gas fields.
