Geothermal energy, oil industry, and underground gas storage technology require deep drilling. Although oil-based drilling fluids have been widely used, they cause environmental issues. Environmentally friendly Aphronic fluid has emerged as an alternative to fluid. Despite various investigations on Aphron's performance, the effect of temperature not yet comprehensively studied. In this study, was developed with xanthan gum (XG) a polymer alpha-olefin sulfonate (AOS) surfactant. Furthermore,...
Abstract One of the most important problems that drilling industry faces is cost. Many factors affect cost drilling. Increasing time has a significant role in increasing costs. solutions to reduce optimize rate. Drilling wells at optimum will and thus The rate depends on different factors, some which are controllable uncontrollable. In this study, several smart models correlation were proposed predict penetration (ROP) very for planning operation. 5040 real data points from field South Iran...
In recent years, researchers have attempted to find some practical approaches for asphaltene adsorption and the prevention or postponement of precipitation. Among different techniques, nanotechnology has attracted researchers' attention overcome formation damage resulting from deposition asphaltenes. this study, application two types carboxylate-alumoxane nanoparticles (functionalized boehmite by methoxyacetic acid (BMA) functionalized pseudo-boehmite (PBMA)) precipitation was investigated....
The flash point of hydrocarbons and petroleum mixtures is important safety-related data for processing handling these materials. In this paper, experimentally measured on points about 140 pure fractions were collected used to evaluate existing methods prediction available in the literature. errors varied from 1.6 4.9% 3.7 11.1% fractions. methods, parameters such as vapor pressure, boiling point, molecular weight, density, activity coefficient, composition used. On basis simplified relations...
In this paper, a paraffinic/naphthenic/aromatic (P/N/A) compositional model is proposed for calculation of the solubilities light gases such as methane, ethane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen in various petroleum coal liquid fractions under different conditions temperature pressure. The uses Scatchard−Hildebrand theory with corrected value solubility parameter dissolving gas characterizes phase by its P/N/A composition. results show that, studied, composition has an effect on solubility....
Abstract It is shown that by considering the "b" parameter in a cubic equation of state (EOS) as acentric factor/temperature-dependent, liquid densities especially for heavy compounds and region near critical point can be estimated more accurately. The proposed also used accurate estimation compressibility factors different compounds, Although method applied to Peng-Robinson (PR-EOS), it any other state. particularly useful phase equilibrium calculations reservoir fluids. requires...
In this work, analytical methods are developed to predict three basic characteristics that quantify the quality of petroleum fuels, such as gasoline and jet fuels. Simple equations have been proposed for calculations octane numbers, aniline points, smoke points Minimum input data these boiling point specific gravity; however, when composition mixture in addition is known, better, results can be obtained. Average deviations about 4−7 number, 2.5 °C point, 2 mm were observed evaluated with a...
In this paper a semianalytical model has been proposed to predict the rate at which oil components dissolve in water when an spill occurs marine environment. The breaks into number of pseudocomponents proportional compounds originally present and calculates dissolution for each component. addition, are divided paraffinic, naphthenic, aromatic hydrocarbon types amount pseudocomponent is calculated versus time. method concentration most toxic (mainly monoaromatics) determined. considers...
The enormous growth in urbanisation worldwide, particularly developing countries, has negatively affected the local, regional and global environment.It will have a profound impact upon world demand for energy, if this trend continues.It should be noted that major source of energy use Iran is fossil fuel, which inevitably leads to exhaustion supplies as well environmental problems (notably air pollution greenhouse gas emission).According balance 2008, Iranian building sector accounts about...
