Book description
Carbon dioxide has been implicated in the global climate change, and
CO2 sequestration is a technology being explored to curb the
anthropogenic emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. The injection of CO2
for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has the duel benefit of sequestering the
CO2 and extending the life of some older fields. This volume presents
some of the latest information on these processes covering physical
properties, operations, design, reservoir engineering, and geochemistry
for AGI and the related technologies.
Ying (Alice) Wu is currently the President of Sphere Technology
Connection Ltd. (STC) in Calgary, Canada. From 1983 to 1999, she was
an assistant professor and researcher at Southwest Petroleum Institute
(now Southwest Petroleum University, SWPU) in Sichuan, China. She
received her MSc in petroleum engineering from SWPU and her BSc in
petroleum engineering from Daqing Petroleum University in
Heilongjiang, China.
John J. Carroll, PhD, PEng, is the Director, Geostorage Process
Engineering for Gas Liquids Engineering in Calgary, Canada. Dr.
Carroll holds bachelor and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering
from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, and is a registered
professional engineer in the provinces of Alberta and New Brunswick in
Canada. His fist book, Natural Gas Hydrates: A Guide for
Engineers, is now in its second edition, and he is the author or
coauthor of fifty technical publications and about forty technical presentations.
Weiyoa Zhu is Professor at University of Science and Technology
Beijing in China and Adjunct Professor in State Key Lab of Enhanced
Oil and Gas Recovery at the Northeast Petroleum University. He has
published more than 100 technical papers and authored six technical
books. His research focus is on fluid mechanics in porous media, the
theory and application of the multiphase flow for resource
exploitation, new energy development, environmental fluid mechanics,
and reservoir simulation.
