In 2017, Reza published a new SPE Monograph jointly with prof. Kovscek of Stanford University titled “Low Energy Processes for Unconventional Oil Recovery” in which, the authors discussed ways of making oil recovery technologies more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Filling The Gap
Low-Energy Processes for Unconventional Oil Recovery fills a gap in oil and gas literature. Today, in our globalized society, the oil industry has to demonstrate how oil recovery can be done responsibly over the life-cycle of the project, clearly articulating energy efficiency as well as limiting CO2 and environmental footprints of the chosen recovery processes. The authors bring together their complementing expertise to provide the reader with an in-depth discussion of a range of alternative recovery techniques. Most recovery methods included are focused on heavy oil recovery, but some have applications in light oil reservoirs as well. With the recent industry drive and focus to recover hydrocarbons from tight rock and shale resources, a chapter has also been devoted to shale oil recovery.
A Word from the Authors
"Most of my career has been dealt with enhanced oil recovery so I felt like it would be a good time to condense all of that experience and learnings into a book that could be available to others who can utilize it in this area of petroleum engineering. " -Reza Fassihi
"We've also concentrated a lot on fundamental so it will also be a good way for people to upgrade their physical understanding of some of these complicated oil recovery processes." - Tony Kovscek
