Effect of strain on gas adsorption in tight gas carbonates: A DFT study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The geometrical properties of the reservoir rocks are usually affected by natural thermodynamics or environmental changes. These factors may modify the distribution and the amount of gas in place in the reservoir. To address ...
The effect of vacancy defects on the adsorption of methane on calcite 104 surface
(
Elsevier Editora Ltda
, 2021 , Article)
Density functional theory calculations are used to study the effect of vacancy defects (ionic Ca and charge neutral CO3) on the adsorption properties of CH4 molecule on different calcite surfaces. Both types of vacancy ...
Influence of natural gas composition on adsorption in calcite Nanopores: A DFT study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Density functional theory is used to study the adsorption of natural gas components in calcite (10.4) cylindrical nanopores with 1–4 nm diameters. The change of adsorption energy with the diameter of the nanopores is studied ...
Theoretical studies of methane adsorption on Silica-Kaolinite interface for shale reservoir application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Shale gas is mostly made up of methane and is currently being exploited in fulfilling the world's energy demands. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) techniques are employed for understanding methane ...
Pyrite-scale removal using glutamic diacetic acid: A theoretical and experimental investigation
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2021 , Article)
Iron sulfide scale causes major losses in both upstream and downstream sectors of the hydrocarbon industry. Pyrite is one of the most-difficult forms of iron sulfide scale from a removal point of view. Inorganic acids such ...
