Enhanced Oil Recovery Field Case Studies bridges the gap between theory and practice in a range of real-world EOR settings. Areas covered include steam and polymer flooding, use of foam, in situ combustion, microorganisms, smart water-based EOR in carbonates and sandstones, and many more. Oil industry professionals know that the key to a successful enhanced oil recovery project lies in anticipating the differences between plans and the realities found in the field. This book aids that effort, providing valuable case studies from more than 250 EOR pilot and field applications in a variety of oil fields. The case studies cover practical problems, underlying theoretical and modeling methods, operational parameters, solutions and sensitivity studies, and performance optimization strategies, benefitting academicians and oil company practitioners alike. Strikes an ideal balance between theory and practiceFocuses on practical problems, underlying theoretical and modeling methods, and operational parametersDesigned for technical professionals, covering the fundamental as well as the advanced aspects of EOR INDICE: Chapter 1 Gas Flooding Chapter 2 Enhanced Oil Recovery by Using CO2 Foams: Fundamentals and Field Applications Chapter 3 Polymer Flooding - Fundamentals and Field Cases Chapter 4 Polymer flooding Practice in Daqing Chapter 5 Surfactant-Polymer Flooding Chapter 6 Alkaline Flooding Chapter 7 Alkaline-Polymer Flooding Chapter 8 Alkaline-Surfactant Flooding Chapter 9 ASP Fundamentals and Field Cases outside China Chapter 10 ASP Process and Field Results Chapter 11 Foams and Their Applications in Enhancing Oil Recovery Chapter 12 Surfactant Enhanced Oil Recovery in Carbonate Reservoirs Chapter 13 Water Based EOR in Carbonates and Sandstones: New Chemical Understanding of the EOR-Potential Using Smart Water Chapter 14 Facility Requirements for Implementing a Chemical EOR Project Chapter 15 Steam Flooding Chapter 16 Cyclic Steam Stimulation Chapter 17 SAGD for Heavy Oil Recovery Chapter 18 In Situ Combustion Chapter 19 Introduction to MEOR and Field Applications in China Chapter 20 The Use of Microorganisms to Enhance Oil Recovery Chapter 21 Field Application of Organic Oil Recovery (A New MEOR Method) Chapter 22 Cold Production of Heavy Oil
