Gas Injection Methods

The Enhanced Oil Recovery Series delivers a multivolume approach that addresses the latest research on various types of EOR.

The second volume in the series, Gas Injection Methods, helps engineers focus on the latest developments in one of the fastest growing areas.

Different techniques are described in addition to the latest technology such as data mining and unconventional reservoirs.

Supported field case studies are included to show a bridge between research and practical application, making it useful for both academics and practicing engineers.

Structured to start with an introduction on various gas types and different gas injection methods, screening criteria for choosing gas injection method, and environmental issues during gas injection methods, the editors then advance on to more complex content, guiding the engineer into newer topics involving CO2 such as injection in tight oil reservoirs, shale oil reservoirs, carbonated water, data mining, and formation damage.

Supported by a full spectrum of contributors, this book gives petroleum engineers and researchers the latest research developments and field applications to drive innovation for the future.
