Abstract

Enhanced Oil Recovery Field Case Studies bridges the gap between theory and practice in a range of real-world EOR settings. Areas covered include steam and polymer flooding, use of foam, in situ combustion, microorganisms, "smart water"-based EOR in carbonates and sandstones, and many more.

Oil industry professionals know that the key to a successful enhanced oil recovery project lies in anticipating the differences between plans and the realities found in the field. This book aids that effort, providing valuable case studies from more than 250 EOR pilot and field applications in a variety of oil fields. The case studies cover practical problems, underlying theoretical and modeling methods, operational parameters, solutions and sensitivity studies, and performance optimization strategies, benefitting academicians and oil company practitioners alike.

• Strikes an ideal balance between theory and practice
• Focuses on practical problems, underlying theoretical and modeling methods, and operational parameters
• Designed for technical professionals, covering the fundamental as well as the advanced aspects of EOR

"Petroleum engineers mostly from oil and equipment companies draw on the field experience of specialists in enhanced oil recovery as well as from the technical literature and other sources to provide a reference to all aspects of enhanced oil recovery."--Reference and Research Book News, August 2013
