Primer on Enhanced Oil Recovery

Delivering fundamentals to the oil and gas engineer, Primer on Enhanced Oil Recovery gives the oil and gas market introductory information covering physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbon reservoir fluids and rock, drilling operations, rock-fluid interactions, reserves classification with recovery methods, and the economy of enhanced oil recovery projects. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) will continue to thrive in today's existing infrastructure of assets making it critical that every oil and gas engineer entering into the market understand the fundamentals of EOR first before proceeding to more advanced unconventional challenges. Starting with introductory materials on basic physics, oil-rock interaction, the reference progresses into all the more well-known types of EOR such as gas injection and microbial EOR as well as the whys and when to use EOR. Slightly newer technologies are introduced such as hybrid EOR, smart water/low salinity, and solar EOR. Rounding out with EOR economics and worldwide case study examples, Primer on Enhanced Oil Recovery gives engineers, early and veteran, the go-to starting point to understand the fundamentals of EOR techniques and data. Discusses basic physics and chemistry of oil, oil-rock interaction, variation of oil and interaction properties with temperatureIntroduces reader into formation essential substances from gases and fresh water to bacteria as well as sweep efficiency and introduction to numerical modelling in all enhanced oil recovery processesUnderstand why and when EOR can be used as well as data on EOR implementation and economics INDICE: 1.
