An Investigation of the Swelling Kinetics of Bentonite Systems Using Particle Size Analysis
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Particles size distribution (PSD) is introduced as a tool for analysis of bentonite aggregation and swelling kinetics. Raw Ca-bentonite was purified using a combined wet sieving and sedimentation processes, followed by ... -
CFD modeling of particle settling in drilling fluids: Impact of fluid rheology and particle characteristics
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)The settling of drilling cuttings is important for the drilling and clean-out operations. The current article provides a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling study of particle settling behavior during the drilling ... -
Gelation kinetics of PAM/PEI based drilling mud for lost circulation applications
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)The problem of lost circulation is a direct consequence of the presence of fractures or high permeability. Lost circulation material (LCM) is used to treat the loss that occurs or proactively strengthen the wellbore of the ... -
Rheological and thermal properties of novel surfactant-polymer systems for EOR applications
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2016 , Article)In this work, two surfactant-polymer (SP) systems were evaluated for enhanced oil recovery applications. The first SP system contained partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and alkyl polyethylene glycol ether-based non-ionic ... -
Settling behavior of fine cuttings in fiber-containing polyanionic fluids for drilling and hole cleaning application
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)For efficient drilling operations, cuttings transport within the oil and gas wellbore is fundamental. Inadequate hole cleaning results in many problems including reduced rate of penetration, increased torque, bit wearing, ... -
Synthesis of Metallocene Catalyzed Ethylene 1,7-Octadiene Copolymer: Effect of Copolymerization on Polymer Properties
( Polymer Society of Korea , 2018 , Article)In this article, metallocene catalyzed polyethylene homopolymer and ethylene 1,7-octadiene copolymers were synthesized and the produced polymers were characterized. The results show that these polymers were high density ...
