Electronic waste considerations in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region: A review
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article Review)Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment or e-waste is a waste stream that has multiplied profoundly in recent years. Currently, many researchers focused on the study of e-waste. The Middle East & North Africa (MENA) is ... -
Effect of Fluid Rheology on the Performance of Fibrous Fluid in Horizontal Well Cleanout
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Conference)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. ... -
A Mechanistic Model for Wellbore Cleanout in Horizontal and Inclined Wells
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2021 , Conference)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 ... -
Rapid Curing Environmentally Degradable Polymeric Pill for Loss Circulation Treatment
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Conference)Loss circulation is frequent while drilling in naturally fractured or depleted reservoirs, which is usually associated with high non-productive time (NPT). Moreover, naturally pre-existing fractures may propagate when fluid ... -
