Challenges and Recent Advances in Sustainable Oil and Gas Recovery and Transportation

by Sanket Joshi PhD (Editor), Prashant Jadhawar (Editor), Asheesh Kumar (Editor)

Overview

Challenges and Recent Advances in Sustainable Oil and Gas Recovery and Transportation delivers a critical tool for today's petroleum and reservoir engineers to learn the latest research in EOR and solutions toward more SDG-supported practices. Packed with methods and case studies, the reference starts with the latest advances such as EOR with polymers and EOR with CCS. Advances in shale recovery and methane production are also covered before layering on sustainability methods on critical topics such as oilfield produced water. Supported by a diverse group of contributors, this book gives engineers a go-to source for the future of oil and gas. The oil and gas industry are utilizing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods frequently, but the industry is also tasked with making more sustainable decisions in their future operations. - Provides the latest advances in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), including EOR with polymers, EOR with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), and hybrid EOR approaches - Teaches options in recovery and transport, such as shale recovery and methane production from gas hydrate reservoirs - Includes sustainability methods such as biological souring and oil field produced water solutions

About the Author

Dr. Sanket Joshi is currently a Professor at the Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University, Rajasthan, India. He has academic teaching and research experience of about 16 years, and industrial R&D experience of about 4 years in India and Oman. While working in Indian pharma companies, he undertook several turnkey projects. His current research interests encompass energy (In-situ/ex-situ microbial enhanced light/heavy oil recovery; chemical enhanced oil Recovery; biofuels), microbial products (biosurfactants, biopolymers, R&D and scale-up), and environmental bioremediation (crude oil pollution; analysis, mitigation and control of souring by Sulfate reducing bacteria; HPAM contaminated sites). He has about 125 scientific publications in international journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings, and two books to his credit. He is an Academic/Associate Editor for: Frontiers in Microbiology, PeerJ, Ecotoxicology (Springer), Petroleum Science and Technology (Springer), Biotech (Springer), and Open Biotechnology Journal; guest editor for Frontiers in Microbiology, Sustainability, Scientifica, and Open Biotechnology Journal.
Prashant Jadhawar is an experienced academician with industry experience of more than 18 years in the United Kingdom, Germany (senior reservoir engineer R&D, Wintershall Holding GmBH), India, and Australia. His expertise areas are enhanced oil and gas recovery (CO2 sequestration, low salinity waterflooding, and chemical processes, gas hydrates in porous media), flow assurance (gas hydrates), res¬ervoir modeling and simulation, pipeline transport of gases (hydrogen, CO2), and their storage in geoformations (current). He delivered numerous conference presentations and invited talks, published 42 articles, and is an editorial board member of Springer Nature Journal Scientific Data and the continuing education committee of SPE Aberdeen section.
