Investigation of Filter Cake Evolution in Carbonate Formation Using Polymer-Based Drilling Fluid
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Drilling fluid and filtrates invasion often alter the near-wellbore flow properties during overbalanced drilling. The utilization of polymeric gels to prevent drilling fluid loss reduces the risk of formation damage caused ...
Theoretical studies of methane adsorption on Silica-Kaolinite interface for shale reservoir application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Shale gas is mostly made up of methane and is currently being exploited in fulfilling the world's energy demands. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) techniques are employed for understanding methane ...
Molecular Design of Novel Chemicals for Iron Sulfide Scale Removal
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2021 , Article)
Scale deposition is a pertinent challenge in the oil and gas industry. Scales formed from iron sulfide are one of the troublous scales, particularly pyrite. Moreover, the use of biodegradable environmentally friendly ...
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 ...
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 ...
Application of response surface methodology and box-behnken design for the optimization of the stability of fibrous dispersion used in drilling and completion operations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Fibers are extensively used as a fluid additive in the oil and gas industry to improve hole-cleaning performance, control fluid filtration loss, and enhance hydraulic fracturing effectiveness. Generally, a small amount of ...
Choline chloride based natural deep eutectic solvent for destabilization and separation of stable colloidal dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In solid-liquid separation processes, coagulation/flocculation is one of the most popular techniques in treating wastewater, as it is efficient, simple, and economical. Consequently, the formation of a new environment ...
Impact of aluminium acetate particles size on the gelation kinetics of polyacrylamide-based gels: Rheological and molecular simulation study
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
Inorganically crosslinked polymers have been intensively implemented for conformance control treatments in oil and gas wells at low temperatures (<90°C) because of their faster gelation time compared to organically crosslinked ...
Ab-Initio Molecular Dynamics investigation of gas adsorption on α-quartz (001) for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the interaction of methane and carbon dioxide on α-quartz with surface 001, with a siloxane termination (dense) surface was investigated by means of Ab-Initio Molecular Dynamics. Different temperatures were ...
CO2 enhanced gas recovery and sequestration in depleted gas reservoirs: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Increasing CO2 emissions and global warming side effects have prompted the researchers to look for safe and reliable storage sites that have high capacity. Among the available CO2 capturing sinks, depleted gas reservoirs ...
