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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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, ...
Effects of Pipe Rotation on the Performance of Fibrous Fluids in Horizontal Well Cleanout
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The deposition of rock cuttings is a problem commonly faced during drilling, completion, and intervention operations. Using polymer-based fluids is a common technique to improve horizontal downhole cleaning. However, these ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
