About this ebook
- All thermal and non-thermal methods
- Properties including viscosity and sampling
- Up to 40% newly added material, including technologies surrounding offshore applications
The importance of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has grown in recent years, thanks to the increase in locating unconventional resources such as heavy oil and shale. Unfortunately, petroleum engineers and managers don’t always know or are fully aware of all the enhancement methods that are available when needed nor what is the most economically viable solution to maximizing their reservoir’s productivity. Revised from Enhanced Recovery Methods for Heavy Oil and Tar Sands, this new edition titled Introduction to Enhanced Recovery Methods for Heavy Oil and Tar Sands, 2nd Edition presents all the current methods of recovery available including the pros and cons of each. Expanded and updated as a great preliminary text for the newcomer to the industry or subject matter, this must-have EOR guide will teach all the basics needed including:
- Quickly learn how to choose the most efficient recovery method for your reservoir while evaluating economic conditions
- Master the difference between each method of recovery with newly added real-world case studies from around the world
- Stay competitive with the growing need of extracting unconventional resources with new content on how these complex reservoirs interact with injected reservoir fluids
