Influence of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the degree of flocculation and rheological behavior of industrial MBR sludge
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The influence of polyelectrolyte's type and structure on the rheological characteristics of industrial highly stable membrane bioreactor (MBR) sludge have been investigated and were related to its degree of flocculation ...
Development of pH-Controlled Aluminum-Based Polymeric Gel for Conformance Control in Sour Gas Reservoirs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Excessive water production from natural gas reservoirs is a main challenge facing the industry nowadays. Polymeric gelants have been widely applied to seal the water production zones, leading to a more feasible production ...
Predicting carbonate formation permeability using machine learning
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
It is imperative to characterize the formation permeability to simulate the flow behavior at subsurface conditions. An accurate characterization at the core scale is possible when large samples are available, but often ...
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 ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on calcite for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on calcite (104) has been studied by means of Density Functional Theory for molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) CO2 injection. Results show ...
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 ...
Synthesis of graphene oxides particle of high oxidation degree using a modified Hummers method
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
High-oxidation-degree graphene oxide particles were synthesized using a modified Hummers' method. Six different types of particles were synthesized by varying the operating conditions, including the temperature, the reactant ...
