Increasing the Recovery of Petroleum is a comprehensive technical examination of the methodologies and scientific principles required to maximize the efficiency of oil extraction. Written by Wentworth H. Osgood, this second volume focuses on the physical dynamics of petroleum reservoirs and the implementation of advanced recovery techniques during a pivotal era in industrial engineering.

The text provides a detailed analysis of secondary recovery methods, specifically exploring the application of gas injection, air lift systems, and water flooding to stimulate production in maturing fields. Osgood evaluates the relationship between reservoir pressure, fluid viscosity, and geological structures, offering practical insights into well management and field development. By addressing the engineering challenges of the early 20th century, this work documents the transition toward more systematic and scientifically driven extraction processes.
