Enhanced Recovery Processes

Oil and Gas Industry is going through not only a transition but a significant paradigm shift with the changing dynamics of the industry as well as the evolving trends in the world where more efficient recovery processes are sought to meet the energy demand in the coming decades. Major oil and gas companies and academia have strong interests in more efficient and environmentally friendly recovery processes, minimizing carbon emissions while maximizing hydrocarbon recovery.

This book comprehensive reference for oil and gas professionals aiming to maximize recovery in a changing paradigm not only in terms of evolving and emerging technologies but also in the era of energy transition. Throughout the book illustrations, tables, figures, workflows/methods, technology, operational principles and challenges, and examples of the latest advances in the area recovery are included. The book also includes coverage of recovery enhancement techniques in unconventionals as well as the novel techniques developed in the oil and gas industry.

Topics covered include Advances in Cold Heavy Oil Production; Waterflooding; Chemical Enhanced Recovery; Gas Injection Methods; Thermal Methods; Alternative/Miscellaneous Methods; Recovery Enhancement in Unconventional Shale Reservoirs; Application of EOR techniques for Carbon Capture and Storage; and Novel EOR Techniques & Future Directions in Enhanced Recovery
