Application of response surface methodology and box-behnken design for the optimization of the stability of fibrous dispersion used in drilling and completion operations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Fibers are extensively used as a fluid additive in the oil and gas industry to improve hole-cleaning performance, control fluid filtration loss, and enhance hydraulic fracturing effectiveness. Generally, a small amount of ...
Influence of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the degree of flocculation and rheological behavior of industrial MBR sludge
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The influence of polyelectrolyte's type and structure on the rheological characteristics of industrial highly stable membrane bioreactor (MBR) sludge have been investigated and were related to its degree of flocculation ...
Development of pH-Controlled Aluminum-Based Polymeric Gel for Conformance Control in Sour Gas Reservoirs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Excessive water production from natural gas reservoirs is a main challenge facing the industry nowadays. Polymeric gelants have been widely applied to seal the water production zones, leading to a more feasible production ...
Choline chloride based natural deep eutectic solvent for destabilization and separation of stable colloidal dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In solid-liquid separation processes, coagulation/flocculation is one of the most popular techniques in treating wastewater, as it is efficient, simple, and economical. Consequently, the formation of a new environment ...
Impact of aluminium acetate particles size on the gelation kinetics of polyacrylamide-based gels: Rheological and molecular simulation study
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
Inorganically crosslinked polymers have been intensively implemented for conformance control treatments in oil and gas wells at low temperatures (<90°C) because of their faster gelation time compared to organically crosslinked ...
Enhancement of flocculation and dewaterability of a highly stable activated sludge using a hybrid system of organic coagulants and polyelectrolytes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
This study investigates the influence of hybrid coagulation-flocculation system on the flocculation and dewaterability efficiency of a real highly stable activated sludge obtained from the membrane bioreactor tank of a ...
Loss circulation in drilling and well construction: The significance of applications of crosslinked polymers in wellbore strengthening: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Loss circulation is one of the major concerns in drilling and well construction. The uncontrolled flow of fluids into formation while drilling or primary cementing lead to substantial non-productive time (NPT). The methods ...
Hole cleaning and drilling fluid sweeps in horizontal and deviated wells: Comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article Review)
Horizontal wells provide high drainage area within the reservoirs. Advancements in horizontal drilling technologies are utilized to develop unconventional resources such as shale gas and coal bed methane. However, wellbore ...
