Summary
In efforts to increase and extend production from oil and gas fields, as well as to keep wells operational, petroleum engineers pump a wide variety of fluids into the subsurface. In this chapter we consider how multicomponent chemical reaction analysis can be used to foresee unfavorable consequences of reservoir flooding. We take up two examples, sulfate scaling in North Sea oil fields and the alkali flooding of a hypothetical clastic reservoir.
