Investigation of gas-liquid flow using electrical resistance tomography and wavelet analysis techniques for early kick detection
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2021 , Conference Paper)Gas kick is a well control problem and is defined as the sudden influx of formation gas into the wellbore. This sudden influx, if not controlled, may lead to a blowout problem. An accidental spark during a blowout can lead ... -
Investigation of Matrix Damage and Remediation Methods of Preformed Particle Gel Conformance Control Treatments in Carbonate Reservoirs
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Conference Paper)Preformed Particle Gels (PPGs) have been widely applied to control excessive water production in mature oil fields with fractures or fracture-like features, especially in sandstones, but with limited attention to carbonates. ... -
Kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of CO2 adsorption-desorption on polyethyleneimine - Mesoporous silica
( TechConnect , 2016 , Conference Paper)Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine, PEI (432 and 10k) impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam were synthesized and tested for CO2 capture. At ambient pressure, the amount of CO2 captured by these solid ... -
