Sinopsis
Excerpt from Methods for Increasing the Recovery From Oil Sands
That much of the oil in a field is never recovered is well known, but how large a proportion is left underground and the possibility of increasing the recovery can not be fully realized until one clearly understands that the exhaustion of an oil well is due more to the exhaustion of the natural gas, which is the principal agent in driving the oil into the well, than to the exhaustion of the oil itself.

Excerpt from Methods for Increasing the Recovery From Oil Sands
In its efforts to reduce waste, and increase efficiency in oil production, the Bureau of Mines is investigating methods of increasing the recovery from the underground sources of supply, which are the foundation of the petroleum industry and the many allied industries wholly or partly dependent on it. In the face of a demand that is increasing faster than the production and that, in the consensus of opinions of well-informed authorities, is soon likely to outstrip the productive capacity, it is well to consider whether it is not possible to extract more oil from the known sources of supply. It is universally acknowledged that by the usual production methods much oil is left underground, the general opinion being that at least 50 per cent of the oil in a field remains unrecovered when the field is abandoned as exhausted. From the writer's own investigations he believes the average recovery is even less, and if any considerable portion of this oil being left underground could be made available it would have a tremendously favorable influence on the petroleum industry and all the industries dependent on it.
In this publication are considered the principles involved in increasing recovery and methods of extracting more oil from the oil-bearing formations than by the usual ways of producing. These methods are: The use of gas or vacuum pumps, forcing compressed air or gas through the oil-bearing formations, displacing the oil by water, and better utilization of the natural pressures in the oil-bearing formation. Especial attention is being given to a process - commonly known as the Smith-Dunn - for forcing compressed air through oil-bearing formations because it is believed to hold most promise for the future.

Methods for Increasing the Recovery From Oil Sands (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth exploration of the methods used to increase the amount of oil extracted from existing oil wells, focusing on the use of compressed air or natural gas, known as the Smith-Dunn or Marietta process. It also examines the process of flooding oil wells with water and vacuum pumping. The author, an expert in the field, presents a detailed discussion of the physical properties of petroleum and gases, emphasizing the role they play in oil recovery. The book delves into the concepts of viscosity, capillarity, and adhesion, explaining how they affect the movement of oil through oil-bearing formations. By examining the porosity and textures of oil sands, the author provides insights into variations in oil recovery and the challenges faced in extracting oil from different types of formations. This book serves as a valuable resource for petroleum engineers, geologists, and professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge of oil recovery methods, particularly the Smith-Dunn process, and its potential to unlock additional oil reserves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
