Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs delivers a current, state-of-the-art resource for engineers trying to manage unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Going beyond the traditional EOR methods, this book helps readers solve key challenges on the proper methods, technologies and options available. Engineers and researchers will find 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, this book gives engineers the knowledge they need to tackle the most complex oil and gas assets.
Helps readers understand the methods and mechanisms for enhanced oil recovery technology, specifically for shale and tight oil reservoirs
Includes available EOR methods, along with recent practical case studies that cover topics like fracturing fluid flow back
Teaches additional methods, such as soaking after fracturing, thermal recovery and microbial EOR
Petroleum, reservoir and production engineers; researchers involved in shale and tight oil reservoir development; graduate-level petroleum engineering students
