Fundamentals and Practical Aspects of Gas Injection

This book covers different aspects of gas injection, from the classic pressure maintenance operation to enhanced oil recovery (EOR), underground gas storage (UGS), and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The authors detail the unique characteristics and specific criteria of each application, including:

material balance equations
phase behaviour
reservoir engineering
well design
operating aspects
surface facilities
environmental issues

Examples, data, and simulation codes are provided to enable the reader to gain an in-depth understanding of these applications.
Fundamentals and Practical Aspects of Gas Injection will be of use to practising engineers in the fields of reservoir engineering, and enhanced oil recovery. It will also be of interest to researchers, academics, and graduate students working in the field of petroleum engineering.
