A comprehensive rheological study for a flowing polymer-based drilling fluid used for wellbore strengthening
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2020 , Conference Paper)Loss circulation encountered in highly fractured formations, depleted reservoir, or HP/HT intervals is the root cause of many problems plaguing the oil and gas sector for many years. High pore pressure narrows the window ... -
Assessing the relation between mud components and rheology for loss circulation prevention using polymeric gels: A machine learning approach
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)The traditional way to mitigate loss circulation in drilling operations is to use preventative and curative materials. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount of materials from every possible combination to produce ... -
Clogging vs. fouling in immersed membrane bioreactors
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)Whilst the fouling of MBR membrane surfaces has been very extensively explored by the academic community, there is an increasingly widespread recognition by practitioners of the issue of clogging of membrane channels with ... -
Development of a polyacrylamide-based mud formulation for loss circulation treatments
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2021 , Article)Loss circulation materials in the last two decades have witnessed a lot of developments and implementations. New technologies and materials are introduced to treat various types of loss zones. However, the success rate is ... -
Effects of sodium carbonate addition, heat and agitation on swelling and rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)The effects of the addition of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and the subsequent simultaneous heating and stirring on the rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions have been investigated in this study. Ca-bentonite ... -
Flocculation and viscoelastic behavior of industrial papermaking suspensions
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Article)The effects of the surface charge type and density C496, C492 and A130LMW polyacrylamides (PAMs) on the rheological behavior of real industrial papermaking suspensions were quantitatively related to the degree of flocculation ... -
Gas solubility and rheological behavior study of betaine and alanine based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES)
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)Natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) produced herein this work by mixing betaine and alanine with lactic acid and malic acid with 1:1 M mixing ratios. Thermophysical properties including water content, thermal stability, ... -
Influence of choline chloride based natural deep eutectic solvent on the separation and rheological behavior of stable bentonite suspension
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)Colloids in wastewater are considered a serious problem due to their stability and separation difficulty. Coagulation/ flocculation processes are the most common for the separation of colloids because of their high-performance ... -
Influence of combined natural deep eutectic solvent and polyacrylamide on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of bentonite dispersion
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The influence of hybrid coagulation/ flocculation systems on the degree of flocculation and rheological behavior of highly stable bentonite suspension has been investigated throughout this study. Natural deep eutectic ... -
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 ... -
Influence of polyelectrolytes and other polymer complexes on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of clay minerals: A comprehensive review
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article Review)Separation of clay minerals from industrial wastewaters is of great academic and practical importance. Current treatment techniques are either not economically viable, not environmentally friendly, or both. Thus, researchers ... -
Intercalation of ionic liquids into bentonite: Swelling and rheological behaviors
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)In this study, direct intercalation of three different green ionic liquids (ILs) having different salt and cation sizes into bentonite interlayer is investigated. The ILs covered in this study are: 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ... -
