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 ...
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Reduction of carbon dioxide emission from natural and industrial flue gases is paramount to help mitigate its effect on global warming. Efforts are continuously deployed worldwide to develop efficient technologies for CO ...
Development of novel thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes for desalination
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Microporous Polyetherimide (PEI) membranes were prepared by wet phase inversion at different temperatures. The thin film composites (TFC) of polyamide on microporous PEI were prepared using meta-Phenylenediamine (MPD) and ...
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 ...
A comprehensive review on the rheological behavior of imidazolium based ionic liquids and natural deep eutectic solvents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
The rheological behavior of a fluid is an important property that has a distinct impact on its flow conduct, which influence viscosity dependent phenomena and applications such as pumping, mass transfer rates, and ...
Impact of combined oil-in-water emulsions and particulate suspensions on ceramic membrane fouling and permeability recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of crossflow ceramic microfiltration (CFCMF) to the removal of emulsified oil from a simple analogue of raw produced water (PW) arising from oil exploration has been studied. Outcomes relate to surfactant ...
