Grid-scale underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is essential for the decarbonization of energy supply systems on path towards a zero-emissions future. This study presents feasibility UHS in an actual saline aquifer with typical dome-shaped anticline structure to balance potential seasonal mismatches between and demand UK domestic heating sector. As main requirement aquifers, we investigate role well configuration design enhancing performance selected site via numerical simulation. The results...
The microscale liquid flow in nanoscale systems considering slip boundary has been widely studied recent years, however, they are limited to single-phase flow. As nature, multicomponent and multiphase flows can also exist with non-zero velocities, such as oil/water nanoporous shale. In this paper, a novel multicomponent-multiphase multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method combinational condition is developed study the two-phase behaviors. proposed combined derived from adjustments...
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) plays a critical role in ensuring the stability and security of future clean energy supply. However, efficiency reliability UHS technology depend heavily on careful criteria-driven selection suitable sites. This study presents hybrid multi-criteria decision-making framework integrating Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Preference Ranking Organisation Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) to identify select best sites among depleted gas reservoirs...
The effective detection and prevention of CO2 leakage in active injection wells are paramount for safe carbon capture storage (CCS) initiatives. This study assesses five fundamental machine learning algorithms, namely, Support Vector Regression (SVR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNNR), Decision Tree (DTR), Random Forest (RFR), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), use developing a robust data-driven model to predict potential incidents wells. Leveraging wellhead bottom-hole pressure temperature data, the...
The water-soluble polymer PAM (polyacrylamide) is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. It pumped into water injection wells to increase the viscosity of injected and turn direct more towards production wells. This EOR process proven be sensitive operational well conditions such as hydrocarbon reservoir temperature, salinity and/or formation water. These lead technical challenges ranging from solubility behaviour inside reservoir. To gain a clear picture functionality applications,...
Steel slag is a by-product of steelmaking which has emerged as potential CO2 sequestration material due to its high reactivity and abundance. This research investigates the use steel waste for direct capture carbon from air storage through mineral carbonation. Two abundant wastes, blast-furnace (BFS) ladle (LS), were tested their potential, effects operational parameters such reaction time between waste, temperature, liquid-solid ratio, pressure on determined. Quantitative qualitative...
Addressing environmental concerns in extracting and producing hydrocarbon resources requires environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid (WBDF) additives. These additives not only protect the environment but also offer operational benefits. One of major challenges WBDF is loss into formation its degradability high-temperature conditions, which induce cost, alteration pollution. This study explored feasibility wasted watermelon rind powder (WRP) coffee ground waste (CGWP) as potential...
Leaks may occur in existing pipelines, even when designed with quality construction and appropriate regulations. The economic impact of oil spills natural gas dispersion from leaks can be huge. Failure to detect pipeline promptly will have an adverse on life, the economy, environment, corporate reputation. Therefore, early detection leaks, their location, size high sensitivity reliability are important for efficient hydrocarbon transportation through a pipeline, both onshore offshore...
Given that most petroleum companies produce and transport both oil gas at the same time, multiphase flows are extremely important in industry. Common causes of pipeline leaks include corrosion, aging, metal deterioration. As a result, developing practical technique to identify locate pipelines is needed. In present work, 3D numerical model developed using Ansys-Fluent considering Volume Of Fluid (VOF) approach coupled with 𝑘−𝜀 turbulence investigate occurrence simultaneous (1st leak 3 mm 2nd...
Abstract Carbonate reservoirs become more water-wet during thermal recovery. The effect of temperature on wettability-altering process is caused by contribution from several parameters involving fluid/fluid and fluid/rock interactions. This paper aims at describing the interrelationship between different a simple oil/water/rock model over range 25 to 130 degree centigrade. Saturated unsaturated fatty acids as well naphthenic with saturated rings are selected for this work alter calcite...
Polyacrylamides (PAM) are widely used as water-soluble polymers producing gel in oil reservoirs to assist extraction from with high levels of heterogeneity. These gels susceptible degradation due hydrolysis harsh reservoir conditions such elevated temperature and salinity.

Thermodynamics and heat transfer of an impinging nanofluid flow upon a cylinder with constant surface temperature embedded in porous media are investigated. Numerical solutions reveal the velocity fields as well Nusselt number. These then used to calculate rate entropy generation within system by viscous irreversibilities. It is demonstrated that changes concentration nanoparticles modify thermal hydrodynamic boundary layers hence can alter number considerably. However, shear stress on...
