• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the macromolecular characterization of hydrocarbon components and their industrial applications for sustainable future development. It provides efficient integrated solutions and feasible industrial applications for sustainable cleaner and greener future. The book covers recent trends in the use of hydrocarbons such as crude oil, coal and shale, biomass and other carbon materials. Various topics covered in this book include challenges in mature field redevelopment, enhanced oil recovery, optical characteristics of petroleum crudes-surfactants-brine solutions, challenges and issues in processing hydrocarbons, 'coal for future cleaner fuel and chemicals' and 'biomass for fuels and chemicals'. The book is useful for the researchers and professionals working in the area of petroleum engineering.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Uttam Kumar Bhui is currently Associate Professor at the School of Petroleum Technology, Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU), Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He obtained M.Sc. (Applied Geology - Gold Medalist) and Ph.D. (Sc.) degree from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Dr. Bhui has both industrial (ONGC) and academic (Jadavpur University, PDPU) experience. He has working experience as Reservoir Engineer with ONGC 1999-2002. He served as a faculty member in the Department of Geological Sciences, Jadavpur University, from 2002 to 2008. Dr. Bhui, in his present academic position at PDPU, involved in teaching related to Petroleum Geoscience and Reservoir Engineering courses for Petroleum Engineering students. His present research activities are related to characterization of hydrocarbon components in molecular level from crude oil, coal and carbonaceous shale and their application in exploration, exploitation and utilization to meet the futuristic need of energy and chemical for sustainable development. His specializations and expertise involved:   Crude oil: Crude oil characterization in molecular level for application in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), flow assurance and demulsification. Shale oil/Shale gas: Maturity assessment of hydrocarbon resources (carbonaceous shale) through molecular structure approach. Coal:  Molecular characterization of coal for utilization as cleaner and greener future fuel and chemical feedstock.
