tailieunhanh - INTRODUCTION TO ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (EOR) PROCESSES AND BIOREMEDIATION OF OIL‐CONTAMINATED SITES

Worldwide, crude oil demand is unceasingly increasing. As a response, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes have re‐gained interest from the research and development phases to the oilfield EOR implementation stage. This renewed interest has been also furthered by the current high oil price environment, the maturation of oilfields worldwide, and few new‐well discoveries. Concurrently, environmental concerns and public pressure related to crude oil pollution control and remediation of oilcontaminated sites are becoming greater than ever | INTRODUCTION TO ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY EOR PROCESSES AND BIoRemEdIATION of OIL-CONTAMINATED SITES Edited by Laura Romero-Zerón Introduction to Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR Processes and Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Sites Edited by Laura Romero-Zerón Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
