Greenhouse gas emissions from oilfield-produced water in Shengli Oilfield, Eastern China.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil and gas systems are an important component of the GHG emission inventory. To assess the carbon emissions from oilfield-produced water under atmospheric conditions correctly, in situ detection and simulation experiments were developed to study the natural release of GHG into the atmosphere in the Shengli Oilfield, the second largest oilfield in China. The ...

Hydrophobically Associating Polymers for Oilfield Applications

Recent developments in water-soluble hydrophobically associating polymers are examined with particular emphasis on their use for oilfield applications. These polymers have potential for use in EOR, acidizing, drilling fluids, completion fluids and profile modification. They have also been reported to selectively reduce water permeability in sandstones, and have been used as drag-reducing agents...
