Enhanced Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs

Today's unconventional reservoirs are more complex and engineers are still trying to learn fundamental knowledge of how to adjust current known enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and mechanisms to solve and optimize more unconventional reservoirs which have immense potential to meet future oil and gas demand. Enhanced Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs delivers a current state-of-the-art resource in this unknown area for engineers trying to manage unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Going beyond the traditional EOR methods, this product answers key challenges on the proper methods, technology, and options available that can be applied in the production process, followed by the most current field applications. The first of its kind to be offered in one source, Enhanced Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs provides engineers and researchers with 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, Enhanced Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs gives engineers the knowledge needed to tackle the most complex oil and gas assets. Understand methods and mechanisms for enhanced oil recovery technology specifically for shale and tight oil reservoirs Obtain deep analysis through author's research on available EOR methods as well as recent practical case studies, including fracturing fluid flow back Learn about additional methods such as soaking after fracturing, thermal recovery, and microbial EOR
