Carbon dioxide EGR and sequestration in mature and immature shale: Adsorption study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Recently, CO2 sequestration in different shale formations has become an attractive option owing to the abundance of shale basins. However, these formations have different maturity levels and contain a variety of minerals ...
Dissolution kinetics of different inorganic oilfield scales in green formulations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Scale mineral deposition is a critical problem that hinders the daily production of oil and gas fields. Chemical removal of these scales, based on the scale type, is common. In this paper, borax and diethylene tremaine ...
Development of greener d-metal inorganic crosslinkers for polymeric gels used in water control in oil and gas applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Crosslinkable polymers, such as polyacrylamide (PAM), are widely applied for water control in oil and gas reservoirs. Organic and inorganic crosslinkers are used to formulate a gel with PAM. Although chromium has a high ...
Effect of surface morphology on methane interaction with calcite: a DFT study
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Natural gas, consisting primarily of methane, is found in carbonate reservoirs of which calcite is major component. However, the complexity and heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs remain a major challenge in estimating ...
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 ...
Applications of chelating agents in the upstream oil and gas industry: A review
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article Review)
Chelating agents show very effective performance in different applications in the upstream oil and gas industry. This study presents a critical review of the application of chelating agents in acidizing, scale removal, ...
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 ...
