Assessing the relation between mud components and rheology for loss circulation prevention using polymeric gels: A machine learning approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional way to mitigate loss circulation in drilling operations is to use preventative and curative materials. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount of materials from every possible combination to produce ...
Investigation of the effect of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...
Development of oil formation volume factor model using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems ANFIS
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The oil formation volume factor is one of the main reservoir fluid properties that plays a crucial role in designing successful field development planning and oil and gas production optimization. The oil formation volume ...
Adsorption of CO2 on Cu/SiO2 nano-catalyst: Experimental and theoretical study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Copper-based silica is a promising catalyst for several reaction pathways for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons. The activity of this catalyst in terms of conversion and product selectivity is affected by CO2 adsorption, ...
A robust fuzzy logic-based model for predicting the critical total drawdown in sand production in oil and gas wells
(
Public Library of Science
, 2021 , Article)
Sand management is essential for enhancing the production in oil and gas reservoirs. The critical total drawdown (CTD) is used as a reliable indicator of the onset of sand production; hence, its accurate prediction is very ...
Improving the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells by TiO2-graphene nanocomposite photoanode
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanocomposite photoanodes were prepared by addition of graphene (GR) micro-platelets to TiO2 nanoparticulate paste. TiO2/graphene based DSSCs were fabricated using Z907 photosensitizer. Transmission electron microscope was ...
Density-Functional Theory Investigation of Barite Scale Inhibition Using Phosphonate and Carboxyl-Based Inhibitors
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Scale deposition is a critical issue in oil and gas exploration and production processes, causing significant blocking in tubing and consequently flow assurance and economic losses. Most studies addressing the scale formation ...
Investigation on the effect of mud additives on the gelation performance of PAM/PEI system for lost circulation control
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Lost circulation is one of the most common problems in the drilling of oil and gas wells where mud escapes through natural or induced fractures. Lost circulation can have severe consequences from increasing the operational ...
Impact of clays on CO2 adsorption and enhanced gas recovery in sandstone reservoirs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon dioxide enhanced gas recovery (EGR) is a promising technique to sequester CO2 and boost natural gas recovery from conventional depleted and unconventional tight gas reservoirs. Clay minerals are usually present in ...
Electrochemical removal of pyrite scale using green formulations
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Pyrite scale formation is a critical problem in the hydrocarbon production industry; it affects the flow of hydrocarbon within the reservoir and the surface facilities. Treatments with inorganic acids, such as HCl, results ...
