Synopsis

This book brings readers up to date with the current state of knowledge of the emerging technology of adding dimethyl ether (DME) to conventional enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. It explains the fundamental mechanisms and explores its applications, challenges, and future developments.

The authors give a technical insight into DME-based enhanced oil recovery and its fundamental characteristics and current research findings. Throughout the book they furnish the reader with data that will allow them to replicate their own experiments and apply the findings to develop the field. They address topics including waterflooding, CO₂ flooding in conventional and shale reservoirs, heavy oil recovery, and liquid/condensate removal. To date, DME-related research has been mainly conducted at the pilot or laboratory scale. This book therefore explains how simulation and injection design can be performed by adding DME properties to existing commercial software and offers suggestions for how the research can be taken from experimental to application stages. To facilitate this, the book also addresses questions of cost and how this can be reduced and the economic efficiency increased. This work aims to inspire new strategies using DME that can be applied in various types of reservoir to enhance hydrocarbon recovery.

This book is a new and exciting resource for researchers in enhanced oil recovery who are looking to develop this field, overcome existing challenges, and explore the potential applications.
