To name the parent hydrocarbon, add the suffix -am to the prefix oct- (for a carbon-atom chain with eight carbon atoms) to form octane. Now identify and name the alkyl groups. 

The three —CH3 groups are methyl groups. The —CH2—CH3 group is an ethyl group. Arrange the names in alphabetical order in front of the name of the parent hydrocarbon. 

To show that there are three methyl groups present, attach the prefix tri-to the name methyl to form trimethyl. 

we need to show the locations of the alkyl groups on the parent hydrocarbon. Number the octane chain so that the alkyl groups have the lowest numbers possible. 

Place the location number of each of the alkyl groups in front of its name. Separate the numbers from the names of the alkyl groups with hyphens. The ethyl group is on carbon 3.

Generally EOR techniques have been most successfully applied in onshore, shallow reservoirs containing viscous crudes, where recoveries under conventional methods are very low. The Society of Petroleum Engineers publishes a regular report on current EOR projects, including both pilot and full commercial schemes (the majority of which are in the USA). In the 1992 report, EOR methods could be divided into three basic types ...
