Yuan B., Wood D. Formation Damage During Improved Oil Recovery: Fundamentals and Applications

Gulf Professional Publishing, 2018. — 663 p. — ISBN: 978-0-12-813782-6.This book bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and field practice by presenting information on formation damage issues that arise during enhanced oil recovery. Multi-contributed technical chapters include sections on modeling and simulation, lab experiments, field case studies, and newly proposed technologies and methods that are related to formation damage during secondary and tertiary recovery processes in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Focusing on both the fundamental theories related to EOR and formation damage, this reference helps engineers formulate integrated and systematic designs for applying EOR processes while also considering formation damage issues.Key Features
