Development And Application Of Classical Capillary Number Curve Theory

Development and Application of Classical Capillary Curve Theory shows readers how to improve chemical flooding recovery procedures in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using sophisticated numerical modeling techniques for oil displacement that build on, and enhance, the accepted capillary curve in a novel way. The title presents research and technical data that amends the classical capillary curve, giving new impetus to chemical flooding research. By analyzing the capillary number experiment QL, the book models oil and water distribution in the micro-space of the reservoir core. Finally, the book discusses chemical flooding software, reservoir geological modeling, field tests, and a new technique of digital oil displacement testing being developed. Describes how to improve chemical flooding recovery procedures using sophisticated numerical modeling techniques for oil displacement that build on, and enhance, accepted capillary curve theory Presents the role of the capillary number experiment curve QL on oil-water distribution in the microscopic core of a reservoir Details novel digital techniques for oil displacement testing and modeling with global applicability in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) Gives information on chemical flooding software, reservoir geological modeling and field testing Provides advanced digital modeling techniques alongside insights gained through many years of practical experience in Chinese oilfields

This book is exploitation technology oriented and it covers both theory and practice with respect to petroleum reservoirs. Both English language and Russian professional literature are analyzed and elaborated considering interparticle and dual porosity reservoirs. The book consists of four parts. Part I deals with geological principles for recovery processes; Part II deals with classical recovery processes focusing on planning and analysis of technologies; Part III looks at enhanced recovery methods of oil and gas; and Part IV includes different topics necessary for reservoir engineering planning and analysis. A number of examples and practical data are presented which are relevant to technology and recovery efficiency. The book is recommended for students; geologists; reservoir and production engineers who are engaged with crude oil, natural gas, and water production from structures that are located underground; and even for those specialists who deal with gas storage in porous rocks

Handbook of Methods and Instrumentation in Separation Science, Volume 1 provides concise overviews and summaries of the main methods used for separation. It is based on the Encyclopedia of Separation Science. The handbook focuses on the principles of methods and instrumentation. It provides general concepts concerning the subject matter; it does not present specific procedures. This volume discusses the separation processes including affinity methods, analytical ultracentrifugation, centrifugation, chromatography, and use of decanter centrifuge and dye. Each methodology is defined and compared with other separation processes. It also provides specific techniques, principles, and theories concerning each process. Furthermore, the handbook presents the applications, benefits, and validation of the processes described in this book. This handbook is an excellent reference for biomedical researchers, environmental and production chemists, flavor and fragrance technologists, food and beverage technologists, academic and industrial librarians, and nuclear researchers. Students and novices will also find this handbook useful for practice and learning. One-stop source for information on separation methods General overviews for quick orientation Ease of use for finding results fast Expert coverage of major separation methods Coverage of techniques for all sizes of samples, pico-level to kilo-level

Fatigue Design of Marine Structures provides students and professionals with a theoretical and practical background for fatigue design of marine structures including sailing ships, offshore structures for oil and gas production, and other welded structures subject to dynamic loading such as wind turbine structures. Industry expert Inge Lotsberg brings more than forty years of experience in design and standards-setting to this comprehensive guide to the basics of fatigue design of welded structures. Topics covered include laboratory testing, S-N data, different materials, different environments, stress concentrations, residual stresses, acceptance criteria, non-destructive testing, improvement methods, probability of failure, bolted connections, grouted connections, and fracture mechanics. Featuring twenty chapters, three hundred diagrams, forty-seven example calculations, and resources for further study, Fatigue Design of Marine Structures is intended as the complete reference work for study and practice.
