Abstract
Challenge of improving efficiency of recovery of hydrocarbons, crude oil and gas, from natural petroleum reservoirs, is an important and urgent global problem facing mankind. Many branches of science and technology contribute to its solution. Nowadays, computer modeling becomes a key element of integration of all multifarious knowledge and decision-making tool. Here, an effort is made to present basic mathematical models of enhanced oil recovery and some mathematical problems emerging from their study.
