Reservoir Engineering
Enhanced Oil Recovery with Gas Injection
An in-depth treatment of immiscible and miscible gas flooding as a route to recovering oil left behind after waterflooding. It examines the rock and fluid factors that control sweep and displacement, and how to choose solvents and injection schemes on sound physical grounds. Interest in storing carbon dioxide adds further relevance, and compositional simulation is used to explore recovery mechanisms and optimisation.
