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 ... -
Applications of chelating agents in the upstream oil and gas industry: A review
( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article Review)Chelating agents show very effective performance in different applications in the upstream oil and gas industry. This study presents a critical review of the application of chelating agents in acidizing, scale removal, ... -
Destabilization and treatment of produced water-oil emulsions using anionic polyacrylamide with electrolyate of aluminum sulphate and ferrous sulphate
( Society of Petroleum Engineers , 2016 , Conference Paper)Surfactant and polymer flooding technology can greatly enhance the oil recovery through the expansion of sweeping and displacing efficiency. The recovered oil from surfactant and polymer flooding emulsifies the residual ... -
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 ... -
