Synthesis and evaluation of a novel polyacrylamide functionalized nano-silica as a calcium carbonate inhibitor in upstream applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Calcium carbonate scale forms in production and injection wells, precipitating upon pressure and temperature changes, incompatible water mixing, and dehydration. Production shutdown is one of the most dramatic consequences ...
A study on stability of active layer of polymer solar cells: effect of UV–visible light with different conditions
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
The objective of this study is to investigate the stability of the active layer of polymer solar cells from the effect of UV–visible light irradiation using different conditions with respect to time. The active layers were ...
BET, FTIR, and RAMAN characterizations of activated carbon from waste oil fly ash
(
TUBITAK
, 2020 , Article)
Activated carbon (AC), a porous material with high pore volume, attracts increasing attention owing to
its potential applications in several fields. The development of a porous structure in AC marginally relies on both
the ...
Gelation kinetics of functionalized silica crosslinked polymeric gels used in conformance control applications
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
The potential crosslinking of three types of nitrogen-containing functionalized silica (TAAcONa, guanidine, and triamine) with polyacrylamide (PAM) has been investigated. Only triamine silica was able to crosslink with ...
Calcite Scale Inhibition Using Environmental-Friendly Amino Acid Inhibitors: DFT Investigation
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Scale prevention is a long-term challenge. It is essential for ensuring the optimum utilization of oil and gas wells and minimizing economic losses due to disruptions in the hydrocarbon flow. Among the commonly precipitated ...
Destabilization of stable bentonite colloidal suspension using choline chloride based deep eutectic solvent: Optimization study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Choline chloride (ChCl) based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) were synthesized and tested as coagulant for stable bentonite colloidal suspensions. In this work, three ChCl based natural deep eutectic solvent NADES ...
Development of a New Borax-Based Formulation for the Removal of Pyrite Scales
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
In the oil and gas industry, pyrite forms one of the most hardened scales in reservoirs, which hinders the flow of fluids. Consequently, this leads to blockage of the downhole tubular, formation damage, and complete shutdown ...
Rheology of organoclay assisted extrusion of HDPE using Particle Image Velocimetry
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
Wall slip is often seen as a source of flow enhancement and can play a significant role during certain melt instabilities in polymer processing. In the present investigation, the effect of organoclay on the wall slip of ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics investigation of CH4/CO2 adsorption on calcite: Improving the enhanced gas recovery process
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of CH4 and CO2 on the calcite (104) surface have been carried out for the molecular level analysis of CO2-enhanced gas recovery process (EGR). This process takes advantage of the ...
Investigation of Filter Cake Evolution in Carbonate Formation Using Polymer-Based Drilling Fluid
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Drilling fluid and filtrates invasion often alter the near-wellbore flow properties during overbalanced drilling. The utilization of polymeric gels to prevent drilling fluid loss reduces the risk of formation damage caused ...
