Development and Evaluation of Fibrous Fluid Formulations for Horizontal Gas and Oil Well Cleanout
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Cuttings substantial buildup on the downside of the wellbore is a challenging problem that encounters oil and gas drilling operations. Field reports indicate that inefficient hole cleaning increases the nonproductive time ...
Inhibition of Inorganic Oilfield Scales: Theoretical Investigation
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Scale deposition is a critical issue in the oil and gas exploration and production processes causing significant blocking in the tubing and consequently flow assurance and economic losses. Most studies addressing the scale ...
Coupled CFD-DEM Parallel Model to Describe Fines Migration Behavior at the Pore-Scale
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Transport of fine particles in porous media has attracted considerable interest over the past few decades. In various fields of science and engineering, on-site remediation strategies, enhanced transport of contaminants ...
Development of novel magnetic bentonite based adsorbents combined with different carbon sources for removal of oil content from produced water
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Water scarcity is a challenge faced worldwide due to depleting sustainable good quality water resources. Produced water, associated with the production of gas and oil, usually comes as oil contaminated water, creating real ...
Developing a Framework for Optimal Performance of Activated Carbon/ Graphene Oxide/Activated Carbon-Graphene Oxide Nano Adsorbent for the Removal of Antibiotics from Wastewater
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Antibiotics are important drugs for treating infectious diseases and they have undoubtedly saved the lives of millions of people. A growing global problem is the emergence of antibiotic resistance, which means that the ...
Characterizing trapped NAPL in pore networks of unconsolidated sand using synchrotron micro-computed tomography
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
The purpose of this research paper was to determine the correlation of occupancy percentage against the pore radius and coordination numbers for each pore space. X-ray micro-computed tomography images were taken for the ...
Development and Performance Test of Choline Chloride Based Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent for Separation of Colloidal Suspensions
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Clay minerals such as bentonite are considered as a valuable raw material for a
variety of industrial applications including drilling fluids for oil and gas industries,
cosmetics, papermaking, paint and dyes, pharmaceutical, ...
