Theory and Practice in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery

Description: Theory and Practice in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery [Paperback] Lee, Kun Sang; Kwon, Tae-Hyuk; Park, Taehyung and Jeong, Moon Sik Product Overview Selection of the optimal recovery method is significantly influenced by economic issues in today’s oil and gas markets. Consequently, the development of cost-effective technologies, which bring maximum oil recovery, is the main interest in today’s petroleum research communities. Theory and Practice in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery provides the fundamentals, latest research and creditable field applications. Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is potentially a low-priced and eco-friendly technique in which different microorganisms and their metabolic products are implemented to recover the remaining oil in the reservoir. Despite drastic advantages of MEOR technology, it is still not fully supported in the industry due to lack of knowledge on microbial activities and their complexity of the process. While some selected strategies have demonstrated the feasibility to be used on a mass scale through both lab and field trials, more research remains to implement MEOR into more oil industry practices. This reference delivers comprehensive descriptions on the fundamentals including basic theories on geomicrobiology, experiments and modeling, as well as current tested field applications. Theory and Practice in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery gives engineers and researchers the tool needed to stay up to date on this evolving and more sustainable technology.Covers fundamental screening criteria and theories selective plugging and mobility control mechanismsDescribes the basic effects on environmental parameters and the mechanics of simulation, including microbial growth kineticsApplies up to date practical applications proven in both the lab and the field Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Gulf Professional Publishing; 1st edition (August 4, 2020) Language ‏ : ‎ English Paperback ‏ : ‎ 212 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0128199830 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 31 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.2 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 7.52 x 0.5 x 9.25 inches Best Sellers Rank: #8,119,669 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #240 in Hydroelectric Energy #1,447 in Petroleum Engineering #2,521 in Environmental Engineering (Books) #240 in Hydroelectric Energy #1,447 in Petroleum Engineering Stock Photos Please Note: All of our book listings use stock photos unless otherwise stated.
