Sand production is a critical issue in petroleum wells. The critical total drawdown (CTD) is an essential indicator of the onset of sand production. Although some models are available for CTD prediction, most of them are ...

Hydrocarbon production operations include water injection, varying stimulation approaches, and enhanced oil recovery techniques. These treatments often affect reservoir formation, production, and injection facilities. Such ...

During drilling, completion, and intervention operations, solids can deposit in the wellbore. Innovative cleanout fluids reduce the problems associated with inadequate hole cleaning. Various methods have been developed to ...

This article reports on poly (acrylamide-co-malonic acid) and poly(AM-co-MAc) copolymers that inhibit the iron sulfide scale. The iron sulfide scale is considered as one of the most challenging oilfield scales to dissolve ...

Static Young's modulus (Es) is one of the leading mechanical rock properties. The Es can be measured from experimental lab methods. However, these methods are costly, time-consuming, and challenging to collect samples. ...

Hydrogen is one of the clean energy sources that can be used instead of fossil fuel sources to reduce greenhouse emissions. However, hydrogen supply intermittency significantly reduces the deployment and reliability of ...

The development of powerful computers and molecular simulation has allowed researchers to use them to get useful information about electronic properties related to chemical and physical interactions at the molecular level. ...

The bubble point pressure (Pb) could be obtained from pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) measurements; nonetheless, these measurements have drawbacks such as time, cost, and difficulties associated with conducting experiments ...

For many years, amino methylenephosphonate (-CH2-N-PO3H2)-based scale inhibitors (SIs) have been deployed for preventing various scales in the oil and gas industry, particularly for squeeze treatment applications. However, ...

For many years, the oil and gas industry has strived to develop environmentally friendly organophosphorus-based scale inhibitors. The natural polymer chitosan has recently gained significant importance for various upstream ...
