• A robust Gaussian process regression-based model for the determination of static Young's modulus for sandstone rocks 

      Alakbari, Fahd Saeed; Mohyaldinn, Mysara Eissa; Ayoub, Mohammed Abdalla; Muhsan, Ali Samer; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed A. ( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)
      Static Young's modulus (Es) is one of the leading mechanical rock properties. The Es can be measured from experimental lab methods. However, these methods are costly, time-consuming, and challenging to collect samples. ...

      Hassan A.; Mahmoud M.; Bageri B.S.; Aljawad M.S.; Kamal M.S.; ... more authors ( 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, ...
    • Clay minerals damage quantification in sandstone rocks using core flooding and NMR 

      Kamal M.S.; Mahmoud M.; Hanfi M.; Elkatatny S.; Hussein I. ( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)
      Sandstone oil reservoirs consist of different clay minerals such as kaolinite, illite, and chlorite. These clay minerals highly affect the formation damage during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and well stimulation operations ...
    • Effect of CO2 content on the natural gas production from tight gas sandstone reservoirs 

      Eliebid M.; Mahmoud M.; Shawabkeh R.; Elkatatny S.; Hussein I. ( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      The simulation of the gas flow in tight sandstone reservoir is a very complicated process. Several mechanisms contributed to the natural gas production in tight sandstone reservoirs. One of the main mechanisms is the gas ...
    • Impact of clays on CO2 adsorption and enhanced gas recovery in sandstone reservoirs 

      Hamza A.; Hussein I.A.; Al-Marri M.J.; Mahmoud M.; Shawabkeh R. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)
      Carbon dioxide enhanced gas recovery (EGR) is a promising technique to sequester CO2 and boost natural gas recovery from conventional depleted and unconventional tight gas reservoirs. Clay minerals are usually present in ...
