Gas Injection Methods

Enhanced oil recovery continues to advance and innovate to meet future oil and gas demands, but engineers often search through multiple sources to obtain the latest research, technology, and applications. Enhanced Oil Recovery Series delivers a multi-volume approach that addresses the latest research on various types of EOR. The first volume in the series, Foam Flooding and Gas Injection Methods, helps engineers focus on the latest developments in one fast-growing area. Different techniques are described in addition to the latest technology such as nanotechnology application, data mining, and unconventional reservoirs. Supported field case studies are included to show a bridge between research and practical application, making it useful for both academics and practicing engineers. Structured to start with an introduction on characterization techniques, properties, and foam stability, the editors then advance on to more complex content, guiding the engineer into newer topics involving CO2 such as injection in tight oil reservoirs, and formation damage. Supported by a full spectrum of contributors, Enhanced Oil Recovery Series: Foam Flooding and Gas Injection Methods gives petroleum engineers and researchers the latest research developments and field applications to drive innovation for the future. Understand the latest research and practical applications specific to foam flooding and gas injection Obtain analysis through editors’ research on available technology, including nanoparticle-stabilized foam for mobility control and carbon storage in shale oil reservoirs Learn about additional methods such as data mining applications, economic and environmental considerations
