Modern Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery

"Modern Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery: Theory and Practice" by James J. Sheng
Gulf Prоfеssiоnal Publishing, Еlsеviеr | 2011 | ISBN: 1856177459 9781856177450 | 632 pages | PDF | 6 MB

This book brings the most recent developments in the field to the reader an melds this with the past history and academic research in the field. It contains an extremely large amount of useful and practical information, presented in an easy to read and understand format. The book covers all aspects of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and contains a wealth of tables, charts and actual field experience. The author's insight into many controversial issues such as scaling and adsorption and Alkaline Surfactant Polymer Flooding versus Surfactant Polymer Flooding are refreshing and sharp. This book is for anyone involved in EOR from the student level to the seasoned veteran.

The book provides important case studies related to over one hundred EOR pilot and field applications in a variety of oil fields. These case studies focus on practical problems, underlying theoretical and modelling methods, operational parameters (e.g., injected chemical concentration, slug sizes, flooding schemes and well spacing), solutions and sensitivity studies, and performance optimization strategies. The book strikes an ideal balance between theory and practice, and would be invaluable to academicians and oil company practitioners alike.
