Provides an easy-to-read introduction to the area of polymer
flooding to improve oil production The production and utilization
of oil has transformed our world. However, dwindling reserves are
forcing industry to manage resources more efficiently, while
searching for alternative fuel sources that are sustainable and
environmentally friendly. Polymer flooding is an enhanced oil
recovery technique that improves sweep, reduces water production,
and improves recovery in geological reservoirs. This book
summarizes the key factors associated with polymers and polymer
flooding--from the selection of the type of polymer through
characterization techniques, to field design and
implementation--and discusses the main issues to consider when
deploying this technology to improve oil recovery from mature
reservoirs. Essentials of Polymer Flooding Technique introduces the
area of polymer flooding at a basic level for those new to
petroleum production. It describes how polymers are used to improve
efficiency of "chemical" floods (involving surfactants and alkaline
solutions). The book also offers a concise view of several key
polymer-flooding topics that can't be found elsewhere. These are in
the areas of pilot project design, field project engineering (water
quality, oxygen removal, polymer dissolution equipment, filtration,
pumps and other equipment), produced water treatment, economics,
and some of the important field case histories that appear in the
last section. Provides an easy to read introduction to polymer
flooding to improve oil production whilst presenting the underlying
mechanisms Employs "In A Nutshell" key point summaries at the end
of each chapter Includes important field case studies to aid
researchers in addressing time- and financial-consumption in
dealing with this issue Discusses field engineering strategies
appropriate for professionals working in field operation projects
Essentials of Polymer Flooding Technique is an enlightening book
that will be of great interest to petroleum engineers, reservoir
engineers, geoscientists, managers in petroleum industry, students
in the petroleum industry, and researchers in chemical enhanced oil
recovery methods.
