Rapid Curing Environmentally Degradable Polymeric Pill for Loss Circulation Treatment
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
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 ...
Clogging vs. fouling in immersed membrane bioreactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Whilst the fouling of MBR membrane surfaces has been very extensively explored by the academic community, there is an increasingly widespread recognition by practitioners of the issue of clogging of membrane channels with ...
Rheology of upstream complex fluids
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Rheology is an important characterizing technique as it affects all types of fluids. While oil and gas recovery is an operation that depends mainly on the interaction between different fluids, it is therefore important to ...
Rheology of organoclay assisted extrusion of HDPE using Particle Image Velocimetry
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
Wall slip is often seen as a source of flow enhancement and can play a significant role during certain melt instabilities in polymer processing. In the present investigation, the effect of organoclay on the wall slip of ...
Effects of sodium carbonate addition, heat and agitation on swelling and rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The effects of the addition of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and the subsequent simultaneous heating and stirring on the rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions have been investigated in this study. Ca-bentonite ...
Rheology of a viscoelastic zwitterionic surfactant used in acid stimulation: Effects of surfactant and electrolyte concentration
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Acid diversion systems play an important role in increasing the efficiency of the acid stimulation process. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) based diverting systems have many advantages that make them preferred for well acid ...
Novel fluorinated surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Novel surfactant‐polymer (SP) formulations containing fluorinated amphoteric surfactant (surfactant‐A) and fluorinated anionic surfactant (surfactant‐B) with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) were evaluated for ...
Development of a polyacrylamide-based mud formulation for loss circulation treatments
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Article)
Loss circulation materials in the last two decades have witnessed a lot of developments and implementations. New technologies and materials are introduced to treat various types of loss zones. However, the success rate is ...
A comprehensive rheological study for a flowing polymer-based drilling fluid used for wellbore strengthening
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Loss circulation encountered in highly fractured formations, depleted reservoir, or HP/HT intervals is the root cause of many problems plaguing the oil and gas sector for many years. High pore pressure narrows the window ...
The role of clay modifier on cure characteristics and properties of epoxy/clay/carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) hybrid
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Epoxy/clay/carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) hybrids were prepared with two different organically modified clays. Octadecyl amine and trimethyl stearyl ammonium-modified nanoclays (Nanomer I.30E ...
