Integrated Reservoir Studies For Co2enhanced Oil Recovery And Sequestration

This book addresses the feasibility of CO2-EOR and sequestration in a mature Indian oil field, pursuing for the first time a cross-disciplinary approach that combines the results from reservoir modeling and flow simulation, rock physics modeling, geomechanics, and time-lapse (4D) seismic monitoring study.

This volume provides a state-of-the-art review of various carbon sinks for CO2 sequestration such as soil and oceans, and discusses the carbon sequestration achieved by storage in kerogen nanopores, CO2 miscible flooding and generation of energy efficient solvents for postcombustion CO2 capture, focus on monitoring and tracking of CO2 migration. Both researchers and students should find the material useful.

This book aims to provide an overview of enhanced oil recovery techniques (EOR) technology such as Low Salinity Water Flooding (LSWF), hybrid, and nanotechnology applications in EOR processes.

This book navigates the evolving landscape of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Improved Oil Recovery (IOR), covering diverse topics such as lithological dynamics in CO2-EOR, the impact of asphaltene precipitation in WAG implementation, progress in CO2-EOR and storage technology, in situ foam generation for unconventional fractured reservoirs, electromagnetic radiation effects on heavy oil upgrading, advancements in hydraulic fracturing, in situ synthesis of nanoparticles, and operational insights in the Bakken Shale.

This book focuses on the use of nanoemulsion in enhanced oil recovery, along with a brief information about the emulsion and its types and different physico-chemical properties used to analyse the efficiency of the emulsions and nanoemulsions. The author discussed about the nanoemulsion, classification of emulsions and nanoemulsion and use of nanoemulsions in petroleum industry. A special attention has been laid on nanoemulsion and its advantages over commercial product, physico-chemical properties like emulsification, interfacial tension and wettability alteration study as a screening criteria for application in EOR. Given this content, this book offers an assessment for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of petroleum and chemical engineering along with the researchers working in the field of EOR. It is a subject of interest for oil and gas industry professionals.

This book focuses on the use of natural surfactants in enhanced oil recovery, providing an overview of surfactants, their types, and different physical–chemical properties used to analyse the efficiency of surfactants.
