Formation Damage during Improved Oil Recovery: Fundamentals and Applications

Traditionally, the oil and gas industry has not linked enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and formation damage, although formation damage is frequently a consequence of the implementation of some EOR processes, causing major negative consequences for the reservoirs such as water blockage, fines migration, scaling, etc. all reducing the efficiency of secondary and tertiary recovery from the reservoir. Formation Damage during Improved Oil Recovery aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and field practices to study a wide spectrum of formation damage issues arising during enhanced oil recovery. Multi-contributed technical chapters on various topics include addressing modeling and simulation, lab experiments, field case studies, and new proposed technologies and methods related to formation damage during secondary and tertiary recovery processes in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Focusing on both the fundamental theories related to EOR and formation damage, this reference also focuses on practical applications and challenges, drawing on lab experimental data and field case studies. Formation Damage during Improved Oil Recovery helps engineers formulate integrated and systematic designs for applying EOR processes while considering formation damage issues. Gain access to the first complete reference addressing formation damage as a result of enhanced oil recovery and become familiar with new and emerging experimental testing, modeling, and project designsUnderstand the mechanisms for formation damage issues coupled with EOR and suggest appropriate preventative actions or responses to adoptDelivers a structured approach to understand both the fundamental theories and practical challenges and solutions, based on a wealth of research, experimental data, and field application examples INDICE: 1.
