Modern Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery: Theory and Practice
James ShengThis book is about the recent developments in the area as well as the technology for enhancing oil recovery. 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. Updated chemical EOR fundamentals ? providing clear picture of fundamental conceptsPractical cases with problems and solutions ? providing practical analogues and experiencesActual data regarding ranges of operation parameters ? providing initial design parametersStep-by-step calculation examples ? providing practical engineers with convenient procedures
