Description for Flow in Porous Rocks: Energy and Environmental Applications
hardcover. Provides simplified models explaining flows in heterogeneous rocks, their physics and energy-production processes, for researchers, energy-industry professionals and graduate students. Num Pages: 289 pages, 179 b/w illus. 45 colour illus. 24 exercises. BIC Classification: TNCC; TTU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 179 x 249 x 17. Weight in Grams: 806.
Focusing on simplified models of physical flow processes, this book develops a series of quantitative models to describe the recovery of oil and gas from hydrocarbon reservoirs (including fracking), the physics of geo-sequestration of CO2, geothermal power production, and the potential for underground contaminant dispersal in the long-term storage of nuclear waste. The author approaches these problems by developing simplified mathematical models and identifying the key dimensionless variables that control the processes. This analysis is then used to demonstrate the challenges and constraints of modelling flow in complex and heterogeneous rocks, which often have uncertain flow properties. Analytical solutions for ...

Reviews for Flow in Porous Rocks: Energy and Environmental Applications
'Students or members of the industry with a strong background in fluid dynamics will find this book accessible. Practicing reservoir engineers may find this book particularly insightful due to [the] novel approach of nice applied mathematics coupled with simple experiments.' Colin R. Meyer, Pure and Applied Geophysics
