Baghir A. Suleimanov: Methods for Enhanced Oil Recovery, Gebunden

Blurb

An authoritative theoretical explanation of enhanced oil recovery combined with practical, "how-to" instructions on the real-world implementation of EOR

In Methods for Enhanced Oil Recovery: Fundamentals and Practice, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the rapidly evolving field of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The authors dive deep into the granular details of petroleum geology, hydrocarbon classification, and oil reserve assessment, while also explaining a variety of EOR techniques, like thermal, chemical, gas injection, and microbial approaches.

The book is heavily focused on advanced methods of EOR with accompanying analyses of contemporary techniques. It includes innovative new approaches to the discipline, presenting each method with a theoretical background and practical guidelines for implementation in the field. Readers will also find specific coverage of the criteria they should use to select appropriate EOR methods for specific reservoirs and the technological processes necessary to implement these methods in operational settings.

Inside the book:

• A thorough introduction to the laboratory evaluation of oil-bearing rock properties
• Contemporary case studies from oil fields in a variety of regions that illustrate the benefits and challenges of implementing EOR technologies
• Practical discussions of the economic implications of EOR methods
• Complete treatments of fundamental reservoir engineering concepts

Perfect for students of petroleum engineering, Methods for Enhanced Oil Recovery: Fundamentals and Practice will also benefit practicing petroleum engineers seeking a solid theoretical foundation into EOR combined with real-world, practical insights they can apply immediately.
