Acid gas injection & related technologies (Advances in natural gas engineering) ((Advances in natural gas engineering) Series)

Large producers have started to use gas injection for their applications and in the future it is predicted that this trend will increase.

This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of this technique, which is rapidly increasing in importance and usage in the natural gas and petroleum industry.

The authors, a group of the most well-known and respected in the field, discuss, in a series of papers, this technology and related technologies as to how they can best be used by industry to creating a safer, cleaner environment.
