Low Salinity and Engineered Water Injection for Sandstones and Carbonate Reservoirs

Low Salinity and Engineered Water Injection for Sandstones and Carbonate Reservoirs provides a first of its kind review of the low salinity and engineered water injection (LSWI/EWI) techniques for today's more complex enhanced oil recovery methods. Reservoir engineers today are challenged in the design and physical mechanisms behind low salinity injection projects, and to date, the research is currently only located in numerous journal locations. This reference will help to overcome these challenging issues with explanations on models, experiments, mechanism analysis, and field applications involved in low salinity and engineered water. Extending to cover significant laboratory, numerical, and field studies, lessons learned are also highlighted along with key areas for future research in this fast-growing area of the oil and gas industry. After an introduction to its techniques, the initial chapters review the main experimental findings and explore the mechanisms behind the impact of LSWI/EWI on oil recovery. Moving on to focus on the critical area of modelling and simulation and discuss the geochemistry of LSWI/EWI processes, the reference rounds out with coverage on the applications of LSWI/EWI techniques in the field, including the authors' own recommendations based on their extensive experience. Low Salinity and Engineered Water Injection for Sandstones and Carbonate Reservoirs is an essential reference for professional reservoir and field engineers, researchers and students working on LSWI/EWI and seeking to apply these methods for increased oil recovery.
