Crude oil development and production in U.S. oil reservoirs can
include up to three distinct phases: primary, secondary, and
tertiary (or enhanced) recovery. During primary recovery, the
natural pressure of the reservoir or gravity drive oil into the
wellbore, combined with artificial lift techniques (such as pumps)
which bring the oil to the surface. But only about 10 percent of a
reservoir's original oil in place is typically produced during
primary recovery. Secondary recovery techniques to the field's
productive life generally by injecting water or gas to displace oil
and drive it to a production wellbore, resulting in the recovery of
20 to 40 percent of the original oil in place.
Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs delivers a current, state-of-the-art resource for engineers trying to manage unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Going beyond the traditional EOR methods, this book helps readers solve key challenges on the proper methods, technologies and options available. Engineers and researchers will find a systematic list of methods and applications, including gas and water injection, methods to improve liquid recovery, as well as spontaneous and forced imbibition. Rounding out with additional methods, such as air foam drive and energized fluids, this book gives engineers the knowledge they need to tackle the most complex oil and gas assets.
"Enhanced Oil Recovery Field Case Studies" bridges the gap between theory and practice in a range of real-world EOR settings. Areas covered include steam and polymer flooding, use of foam, in situ combustion, microorganisms, "smart water"-based EOR in carbonates and sandstones, and many more. Oil industry professionals know that the key to a successful
enhanced oil recovery project lies in anticipating the differences
between plans and the realities found in the field. This book aids
that effort, providing valuable case studies from more than 250 EOR
pilot and field applications in a variety of oil fields. The case
studies cover practical problems, underlying theoretical and
modeling methods, operational parameters, solutions and sensitivity
studies, and performance optimization strategies, benefitting
academicians and oil company practitioners alike.
