Gulf Professional Publishing Primer on Enhanced Oil Recovery

Product Description Primer on Enhanced Oil Recovery gives the oil and gas market the introductory information it needs to cover the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbon reservoir fluids and rock, drilling operations, rock-fluid interactions, recovery methods, and the economy of enhanced oil recovery projects. Beginning with introductory materials on basic physics and oil-rock interaction, the book then progresses into well-known types of EOR, such as gas injection and microbial EOR. Other sections cover hybrid EOR, smart water/low salinity and solar EOR. Worldwide case study examples give engineers the go-to starting point they need to understand the fundamentals of EOR techniques and data. Review Presents the fundamentals of enhanced oil recovery, including sections on advanced technologies and economics From the Back Cover 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.
