Description
Oil field chemicals are gaining increasing importance, as the resources of crude oil are decreasing. An increasing demand
of more sophisticated methods in the exploitation of the natural resources emerges for this reason. This book reviews the progress in
the area of oil field chemicals and additives of the last decade from a rather chemical view. The material presented is a compilation
from the literature by screening critically approximately 20,000 references. The text is ordered according to applications, just in the
way how the jobs are emerging in practice. It starts with drilling, goes to productions and ends with oil spill. Several chemicals are
used in multiple disciplines, and to those separate chapters are devoted. Two index registers are available, an index of chemical substances
and a general index.
Audience
Drilling Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Chemical and Mechanical Engineers in the Petroleum Industry
