Thermochemical Upgrading of Calcium Bentonite for Drilling Fluid Applications
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2019 , Article)
The rheological properties of bentonite suspensions depend on the chemical composition and the contained dominant element, such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). Na-bentonite type is the one used in drilling ...
Impact of Surfactant on the Retention of CO2 and Methane in Carbonate Reservoirs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Enhanced gas recovery methods such as foamed CO2 are recommended for depleted gas reservoirs. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) is a form of a surfactant used for forming CO2 foam. In this study, the impact of VES on CH4 and ...
Clay minerals damage quantification in sandstone rocks using core flooding and NMR
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Sandstone oil reservoirs consist of different clay minerals such as kaolinite, illite, and chlorite. These clay minerals highly affect the formation damage during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and well stimulation operations ...
Prevention of barite sag in water-based drilling fluids by a urea-based additive for drilling deep formations
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Barite sag is a challenging phenomenon encountered in deep drilling with barite-weighted fluids and associated with fluid stability. It can take place in vertical and directional wells, whether in dynamic or static conditions. ...
Effect of CO2 adsorption on enhanced natural gas recovery and sequestration in carbonate reservoirs
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, CO2 injection for the purpose of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) and sequestration after primary recovery is investigated on Pink Desert limestone from Edwards Plateau formation in central-west Texas. In this ...
Evaluation of the Reaction Kinetics of Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid Chelating Agent and a Converter with Barium Sulfate (Barite) Using a Rotating Disk Apparatus
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Barium sulfate (barite) is a major oil and gas field scale formed inside the production equipment as well as in the reservoir. During drilling of oil and gas wells, barite serves as a weighting material in different drilling ...
