Hybrid Enhanced Oil Recovery Processes for Heavy Oil Reservoirs
About This Book
Hybrid Enhanced Oil Recovery Processes for Heavy Oil Reservoirs, Volume 73 systematically introduces these technologies. As the development of heavy oil reservoirs is emphasized, the petroleum industry is faced with the challenges of selecting cost-effective and environmentally friendly recovery processes. This book tackles these challenges with the introduction and investigation of a variety of hybrid EOR processes. In addition, it addresses the application of these hybrid EOR processes in onshore and offshore heavy oil reservoirs, including theoretical, experimental and simulation approaches.
This book will be very useful for petroleum engineers, technicians, academics and students who need to study the hybrid EOR processes, In addition, it will provide an excellent reference for field operations by the petroleum industry.
- Introduces emerging hybrid EOR processes and their technical details
- Includes case studies to help readers understand the application potential of hybrid EOR processes from different points-of-view
- Features theoretical, experimental and simulation studies to help readers understand the advantages and challenges of each process
