A comprehensive rheological study for a flowing polymer-based drilling fluid used for wellbore strengthening
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2020 , Conference Paper)Loss circulation encountered in highly fractured formations, depleted reservoir, or HP/HT intervals is the root cause of many problems plaguing the oil and gas sector for many years. High pore pressure narrows the window ... -
A sustainable approach to synthesize phosphonated chitosan using ball milling and its application for oilfield scale management
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2022 , Article)For many years, the oil and gas industry has strived to develop environmentally friendly organophosphorus-based scale inhibitors. The natural polymer chitosan has recently gained significant importance for various upstream ... -
Application of DFT in iron sulfide scale removal from oil and gas wells
( European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE , 2019 , Conference Paper)Scale formation including those formed by iron sulfides have been a major hassle in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry for many decades. Iron Sulfide scales including pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) often ... -
Applications of chelating agents in the upstream oil and gas industry: A review
( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article Review)Chelating agents show very effective performance in different applications in the upstream oil and gas industry. This study presents a critical review of the application of chelating agents in acidizing, scale removal, ... -
CO2 enhanced gas recovery and sequestration in depleted gas reservoirs: A review
( 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 ... -
Reinforcement of polyacrylamide-co-tert-butyl acrylate base gel using nanosilica for conformance control at low and high reservoir temperatures
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2020 , Conference Paper)Challenges of water shut-off, which is categorized under conformance control, are nowadays common in the oil and gas industry. The excessive water quantities produced from oil reservoirs can make the production process ...
