DSC investigation of the gelation kinetics of emulsified PAM/PEI system: Influence of surfactants and retarders
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Water production in the oilfields has a negative impact on the production and economy. It is highly desired to shut off water paths without affecting the hydrocarbon zones. Polymer gels are frequently used for water control ...
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 ...
Synthesis of Metallocene Catalyzed Ethylene 1,7-Octadiene Copolymer: Effect of Copolymerization on Polymer Properties
(
Polymer Society of Korea
, 2018 , Article)
In this article, metallocene catalyzed polyethylene homopolymer and ethylene 1,7-octadiene copolymers were synthesized and the produced polymers were characterized. The results show that these polymers were high density ...
Polymeric Surfactants and Emerging Alternatives used in the Demulsification of Produced Water: A Review
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Stable emulsions are frequently encountered in oil production and cause a series of environmental and operational issues. Chemical demulsification is widely used for the separation of oil from water or removal of water ...
IBX/KI promoted synthesis of 2, 5-disubstituted 1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Background: Oxadiazoles are privileged scaffolds in different areas of medicinal, pesticidal, polymer and material science. They act as anticancer, benzodiazepine receptor agonists, antimicrobial, analgesic, diuretic and ...
Investigation of the rheological properties of nanosilica-reinforced polyacrylamide/polyethyleneimine gels for wellbore strengthening at high reservoir temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Wellbore strengthening has been introduced recently to resolve lost circulation problems by improving the fracture gradient and hence extending the mud window. Polymeric cross-linkable solutions showed outstanding strength ...
Development of efficient formulation for the removal of iron sulphide scale in sour production wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Iron sulphide scale, which exists in different forms, is common in sour oil and gas production wells. Iron sulphide hard scales are difficult to remove with acids, requiring mechanical intervention or the replacement of ...
Polymeric formulations used for loss circulation materials and wellbore strengthening applications in oil and gas wells: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Drilling fluid circulation loss is referred to as “the most severe problem in drilling of oil and gas wells”, as a routine solution, loss circulation materials are added to fill any fractures and vugs that may have been ...
Influence of polyelectrolyte architecture on the electrokinetics and dewaterability of industrial membrane bioreactor activated sludge
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
Improvement of sludge dewaterability is greatly hindered by the presence of large amounts of interstitial water molecules trapped in the sludge as a result of strong hydrophilic characteristics. This study has investigated ...
Molecular Modeling Study toward Development of H2S-Free Removal of Iron Sulfide Scale from Oil and Gas Wells
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
A common problem that faces the oil and gas industry is the formation of iron sulfide scale in various stages of production. Recently an effective chemical formulation was proposed to remove all types of iron sulfide scales ...
