Hybrid Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Smart Waterflooding

Hybrid Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Smart Waterflooding explains the latest technologies used in the integration of low-salinity and smart waterflooding in other EOR processes to reduce risks attributed to numerous difficulties in existing technologies, also introducing the synergetic effects. Covering both lab and field work and the challenges ahead, the book delivers a cutting-edge product for today's reservoir engineers. - Explains how smart waterflooding is beneficial to each EOR process, such as miscible, chemical and thermal technologies - Discusses the mechanics and modeling involved using geochemistry - Provides extensive tools, such as reservoir simulations through experiments and field tests, establishing a bridge between theory and practice
