Publisher's Synopsis
This book covers different aspects of gas injection, from the classic pressure maintenance operation to enhanced oil recovery (EOR), underground gas storage (UGS), and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The authors detail the unique characteristics and specific criteria of each application, including:
- material balance equations
- phase behaviour
- reservoir engineering
- well design
- operating aspects
- surface facilities
- environmental issues
Examples, data, and simulation codes are provided to enable the reader to gain an in-depth understanding of these applications.
Fundamentals and Practical Aspects of Gas Injection will be of use to practising engineers in the fields of reservoir engineering, and enhanced oil recovery. It will also be of interest to researchers, academics, and graduate students working in the field of petroleum engineering.
