Fluid-Solid Interactions in Upstream Oil and Gas Applications

Fluid-Solid Interactions in Upstream Oil and Gas Applications highlights the importance of understanding fluid-rock interactions in oil and gas reservoirs and its impact on drilling, production, and reservoir hydrocarbon management. The book is divided into chapters based on the intervals of oil and gas production process. The book starts by introducing the basics of reservoir fluids and their properties as well as the rheological behavior of solid-fluid systems. The fluid-solid interactions are addressed in all stages of the reservoir including the drilling processes, acidizing, and fracking.Fluid-Solid Interactions in Upstream Oil and Gas Applications book addresses different application-specific issues such as the solid-fluids interactions in tight reservoirs, the applications of nanoparticles and the interactions during the EOR processes. Finally, the last chapter highlights the environmental concerns regarding the application of fluid-solid systems. Introduces the basics of reservoir fluids and their properties as well as the rheological behavior of solid-fluid systems Discusses latest advances in molecular simulations and their reliability Highlights the environmental concerns regarding the application of fluid-solid systems
