This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbonated water injection (CWI) is a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method that provides an efficient and a more environmentally friendly alternative to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy. An additional benefit from the implementation of CWI is the storage of anthropogenic CO2 and this has made it even more attractive. Over the years, several attempts have been made to model CWI as an EOR process but have been of very little success due to the underlying assumptions used or the modelling strategy. There are several multi-physics involved during CWI and to have an accurate model to investigate CWI, these physics need to be adequately captured. In this thesis, we have attempted to model CWI adequately by using more realistic and practical assumptions to present a novel modeling strategy. This thesis shows our research in a manuscript-based format which is presented in each chapter as major contributions. Firstly, a comprehensive review of CWI where the behavior of fluids, fluid-rock interactions and challenges associated with CWI technique have been thoroughly discussed. Secondly, the modelling investigation to capture the critical salinity which plays an important role in EOR techniques for sandstones and carbonate as well as the solubility of CO2 during CWI is presented. Thirdly, a 3-D modeling method to investigate CWI which considers important terms such as gravity, non-instantaneous equilibrium, heterogeneity, anisotropy and well orientation is presented. Fourthly, a 1-D core modelling approach which considers the reaction term and rock dissolution in an improved attempt to capture CWI is presented. Finally, a deterministic approach is presented to effectively predict oil recovery factor based on pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. To facilitate this, the use of artificial neural network (ANN), least square support vector machine (LSSVM) modelling and gene expression programming (GEP) are adopted.

Book excerpt: Oil recovery efficiency can be increased by applying the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes, which are based on the improvement of mobility ratio, reduction of interfacial tension between oil and water, wettability alteration, reduction of oil viscosity, formation of oil banks, and so forth. This book describes the different EOR methods and their mechanisms, which are traditionally used after conventional primary and secondary processes. The present scenario of different EOR processes, at both the field application stage and research stage, is also covered. Further, it discusses some of the recent advances in EOR processes such as low-salinity water flooding, the application of nanotechnology in EOR, microbial EOR, carbonated water injection, etc. Features: Comprehensive coverage of all enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods Discussion of reservoir rock and fluid characteristics Illustration of steps in design and field implementation as well as the screening criteria for process selection Coverage of novel topics of nanotechnology in EOR and hybrid EOR method and low-salinity waterfloods Emphasis on recent technologies, feasibility, and implementation of hybrid technologies This book is aimed at graduate students, professionals, researchers, chemists, and personnel involved in petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, surfactant manufacturing, polymer manufacturing, oil/gas service companies, and carbon capture and utilization.

Download or read book Basic Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering written by Manabu Iguchi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the basic theory and experimental techniques of transport phenomena in materials processing operations. Such fundamental knowledge is highly useful for researchers and engineers in the field to improve the efficiency of conventional processes or develop novel technology. Divided into four parts, the book comprises 11 chapters describing the principles of momentum transfer, heat transfer, and mass transfer in single phase and multiphase systems. Each chapter includes examples with solutions and exercises to facilitate students’ learning. Diagnostic problems are also provided at the end of each part to assess students’ comprehension of the material. The book is aimed primarily at students in materials science and engineering. However, it can also serve as a useful reference text in chemical engineering as well as an introductory transport phenomena text in mechanical engineering. In addition, researchers and engineers engaged in materials processing operations will find the material useful for the design of experiments and mathematical models in transport phenomena. This volume contains unique features not usually found in traditional transport phenomena texts. It integrates experimental techniques and theory, both of which are required to adequately solve the inherently complex problems in materials processing operations. It takes a holistic approach by considering both single and multiphase systems, augmented with specific practical examples. There is a discussion of flow and heat transfer in microscale systems, which is relevant to the design of modern processes such as fuel cells and compact heat exchangers. Also described are auxiliary relationships including turbulence modeling, interfacial phenomena, rheology, and particulate systems, which are critical to many materials processing operations.

Download or read book Transport Phenomena and Unit Operations written by Richard G. Griskey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-01-14 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of transport phenomena has long been thoroughly and expertly addressed on the graduate and theoretical levels. Now Transport Phenomena and Unit Operations: A Combined Approach endeavors not only to introduce the fundamentals of the discipline to a broader, undergraduate-level audience but also to apply itself to the concerns of practicing engineers as they design, analyze, and construct industrial equipment. Richard Griskey's innovative text combines the often separated but intimately related disciplines of transport phenomena and unit operations into one cohesive treatment. While the latter was an academic precursor to the former, undergraduate students are often exposed to one at the expense of the other. Transport Phenomena and Unit Operations bridges the gap between theory and practice, with a focus on advancing the concept of the engineer as practitioner. Chapters in this comprehensive volume include: Transport Processes and Coefficients Frictional Flow in Conduits Free and Forced Convective Heat Transfer Heat Exchangers Mass Transfer; Molecular Diffusion Equilibrium Staged Operations Mechanical Separations Each chapter contains a set of comprehensive problem sets with real-world quantitative data, affording students the opportunity to test their knowledge in practical situations. Transport Phenomena and Unit Operations is an ideal text for undergraduate engineering students as well as for engineering professionals.
