(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Increasing CO2 emissions and global warming side effects have prompted the researchers to look for safe and reliable storage sites that have high capacity. Among the available CO2 capturing sinks, depleted gas reservoirs ...
Loss circulation in drilling and well construction: The significance of applications of crosslinked polymers in wellbore strengthening: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Loss circulation is one of the major concerns in drilling and well construction. The uncontrolled flow of fluids into formation while drilling or primary cementing lead to substantial non-productive time (NPT). The methods ...
Review of Iron Sulfide Scale Removal and Inhibition in Oil and Gas Wells: Current Status and Perspectives
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article Review)
Iron sulfide scale is one of the main types of inorganic scales that block oil and gas wells. Iron sulfide has polymorph crystallinity structures, which complicate its dissolving and inhibition. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is ...
