Rapid Curing Environmentally Degradable Polymeric Pill for Loss Circulation Treatment
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Conference Paper)Loss circulation is frequent while drilling in naturally fractured or depleted reservoirs, which is usually associated with high non-productive time (NPT). Moreover, naturally pre-existing fractures may propagate when fluid ... -
Machine Learning for Capillary Pressure Estimation
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Article)Capillary pressure plays an essential role in controlling multiphase flow in porous media and is often difficult to be estimated at subsurface conditions. The Leverett capillary pressure function J provides a convenient ... -
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Global accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere has become a significant environmental challenge in the past twodecades. Global warming and climate change resulting from increasing concentrations of CO2 are of utmost concern ... -
Membrane-based treatment of petroleum wastewater
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Oil and gas exploration activities through conventional and unconventional approaches are accompanied by massive volumes of wastewater generated. The wastewater is originated either from the naturally saturated rocks or ... -
A Mechanistic Model for Wellbore Cleanout in Horizontal and Inclined Wells
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2021 , Conference Paper)The accumulation of rock cuttings, proppant, and other solid debris in the wellbore caused by inadequate cleanout remarkably impedes field operations. The cuttings removal process becomes a more challenging task as the ... -
Chitosan/Polyacrylamide Green Gels for Water Control in High-Temperature Reservoirs
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)The rheology of a gel system composed of polyacrylamide (PAM) and chitosan is studied under typical reservoir conditions. The impacts of the degree of chitosan deacetylation, temperature, and salinity on the gelation ... -
Effect of Fluid Rheology on the Performance of Fibrous Fluid in Horizontal Well Cleanout
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Conference Paper)The deposition of solids in the wellbore is a widely known problem encountered during drilling, completion, and intervention operations. Innovative cleanout fluids alleviate problems associated with inefficient hole cleaning. ... -
Investigation of Matrix Damage and Remediation Methods of Preformed Particle Gel Conformance Control Treatments in Carbonate Reservoirs
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Conference Paper)Preformed Particle Gels (PPGs) have been widely applied to control excessive water production in mature oil fields with fractures or fracture-like features, especially in sandstones, but with limited attention to carbonates. ... -
Pilot-scale study on the suspension of drill cuttings: Effect of fiber and fluid characteristics
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Drilling operation smoothness is essential to minimize drilling non-productive time (NPT). Inadequate cuttings transport can result in cuttings bed build-up in the wellbore low side, jeopardizing the whole drilling operation. ... -
Iron Sulfide Scale Inhibition in Carbonate Reservoirs
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)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 ... -
Theoretical Studies of a Silica Functionalized Acrylamide for Calcium Scale Inhibition
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)The calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) scale is one of the most common oilfield scales and oil and gas production bane. CaCO3 scale can lead to a sudden halt in production or, worst-case scenario, accidents; therefore, CaCO3 scale ... -
Phosphonated Lower-Molecular-Weight Polyethyleneimines as Oilfield Scale Inhibitors: An Experimental and Theoretical Study
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)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, ... -
Introduction to reservoir fluids and rock properties
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Hydrocarbon reservoirs contain gas, oil, water, and brine within the pores. The interactions between these fluids and the reservoir rocks have a considerable role in distributing the phases in the porous media. Understanding ... -
Synthesis of Nanosilica for the Removal of Multicomponent Cd2+ and Cu2+ from Synthetic Water: An Experimental and Theoretical Study
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Copper and cadmium ions are among the top 120 hazardous chemicals listed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) that can bind to organic and inorganic chemicals. Silica is one of the most abundant ... -
A sustainable approach to synthesize phosphonated chitosan using ball milling and its application for oilfield scale management
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2022 , Article)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 ... -
Rheology of upstream complex fluids
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Rheology is an important characterizing technique as it affects all types of fluids. While oil and gas recovery is an operation that depends mainly on the interaction between different fluids, it is therefore important to ... -
An Accurate Reservoir's Bubble Point Pressure Correlation
