Ebook: Enhanced Oil Recovery

Society of Petroleum Engineers 1998, 545 pp.; SPE Textbook Series Vol. 6,
ISBN:978-1-55563-077-5This textbook describes technologies that can be applied to recover oil that cannot be produced by primary recovery or waterflooding. These technologies include polymer, micellar-polymer, and CO2 flooding, as well as thermal-recovery processes that are typically implemented following primary production. A prior understanding of basic petrophysics, fluid properties, and material balances is recommended.
