A novel hybrid solar chimney power plant: Performance analysis and deployment feasibility
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
This study presents a novel hybrid solar chimney power plant (HSCPP) design. The HSCPP preserves the typical solar chimney power plant (SCPP), with an additional seawater pool at the base and water sprinklers at the top. ...
Applications of Machine Learning Methods to Predict Hole Cleaning in Horizontal and Highly Deviated Wells
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Machine learning (ML) has become a robust method for modeling field operations based on measurements. For example, wellbore cleanout is a critical operation that needs to be optimized to enhance the removal of solids to ...
A Mechanistic Model for Wellbore Cleanout in Horizontal and Inclined Wells
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The accumulation of rock cuttings, proppant, and other solid debris in the wellbore caused by inadequate cleanout remarkably impedes field operations. The cuttings removal process becomes a more challenging task as the ...
Investigation of Matrix Damage and Remediation Methods of Preformed Particle Gel Conformance Control Treatments in Carbonate Reservoirs
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Preformed Particle Gels (PPGs) have been widely applied to control excessive water production in mature oil fields with fractures or fracture-like features, especially in sandstones, but with limited attention to carbonates. ...
Synthesis of Nanosilica for the Removal of Multicomponent Cd2+ and Cu2+ from Synthetic Water: An Experimental and Theoretical Study
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Copper and cadmium ions are among the top 120 hazardous chemicals listed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) that can bind to organic and inorganic chemicals. Silica is one of the most abundant ...
A robust Gaussian process regression-based model for the determination of static Young's modulus for sandstone rocks
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
Static Young's modulus (Es) is one of the leading mechanical rock properties. The Es can be measured from experimental lab methods. However, these methods are costly, time-consuming, and challenging to collect samples. ...
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Book chapter)
Global accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere has become a significant environmental challenge in the past twodecades. Global warming and climate change resulting from increasing concentrations of CO2 are of utmost concern ...
Effect of Fluid Rheology on the Performance of Fibrous Fluid in Horizontal Well Cleanout
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The deposition of solids in the wellbore is a widely known problem encountered during drilling, completion, and intervention operations. Innovative cleanout fluids alleviate problems associated with inefficient hole cleaning. ...
Fluid-rock interactions in tight gas reservoirs: Wettability, pore structural alteration, and associated multiphysics transport
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Tight and unconventional reservoirs such as shales are rich in clay minerals that give rise to several fluid-rock interactions. The effect of such fluid-rock interactions is manifested at multiscales. The fluid-rock ...
Introduction to reservoir fluids and rock properties
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Hydrocarbon reservoirs contain gas, oil, water, and brine within the pores. The interactions between these fluids and the reservoir rocks have a considerable role in distributing the phases in the porous media. Understanding ...
