In recent times, particularly in the 21st century, there has been an alarming increase demand for global energy, along with continuous depletion conventional oil reservoirs. This necessity incentivized interested scholars and operators worldwide to seek alternative resources. To secure such accelerating energy demand, considerable effort directed toward development of previously unconventional formations that, past decades, had remained sidelined. Although shale reservoirs have seen...
Herein thermally treated empty fruit bunch SiO2 nanoparticles (EFBSNP) was produced by ultrasound-assisted wet-milling and their effectiveness in enhancing cavitation effect of ultrasound to improve heavy oil recovery evaluated. Empty ash (EFBA) enhance its content. Surface properties size distribution EFBSNP were studied using transmission electron microscopy dynamic light scattering. X-ray diffractometer identified the crystal phase, active group ascertain Fourier-transform infrared...
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) were used to trap reservoir fines and adsorption capacity of MSNP was optimized. Box-Behnken design model effect concentration, time, salinity pH on fines. Multiple response surface method applied optimize any combination variables at which the maximum occurred. Microstructural analysis shows a mesoporous structure ranging from 2.88 44.8 nm with high specific area 332 m2/g purity 94%. Pseudo-second order regression coefficient (R2) 0.99 that best...
Abstract With over 80% of Malaysia's fields relying on gas lift, a late life crisis is evident, prompting secondary and tertiary production enhancements to sustain oil production. Challenges like lift shortages, aging facilities, increased water cut possess efficient recovery limitations, which fueled the demand for an alternative technology in offshore Malaysia brown fields. However, replacing system tedious task. This study proposes automated screening method swiftly identify candidates,...
Throughout the world, construction industry produces significant amounts of by-products and hazardous waste materials. The steel-making generates welding dusts that are toxic to environment pose many economic challenges. Water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) able remove drill cuttings in a wellbore maintain stability prevent formation damage. To best our knowledge, this is first study reports application its derived graphene oxide (GO) as fluid-loss additive fluids. In research, GO was...
In empowering the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal, oil industry is inclined toward organic wax inhibitor applications when combatting deposition issue during crude production. This because synthetic chemical inhibitors are costly and have potential to create environmental problems spillage or seepage occurs transportation operation. study evaluates impact of low-cost, natural plant-based such as Jatropha seed (JSO), palm oil, kernel (CPKO) on paraffin inhibition efficiency...
Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) show promise as advanced materials for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their distinct physicochemical properties. However, tendency quickly clump together in reservoir brine, driven by the need reduce high surface energy, poses a significant challenge. This aggregation results reduced stability and loss of desirable properties, ultimately impeding effective recovery. study addresses these challenges examining how functionalizing IONPs with...
Titania or TiO2-bentonite nanocomposite was synthesised by environmental friendly and cost effective hydrothermal method. Synthesised successfully characterised Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The target of the study to enhance rheological behaviour water-based drilling fluid (WBDF) using nanocomposite. experimental results revealed that Titania-bentonite exhibited better characteristics than conventional WBDF. Rheological properties in particular yield point (YP)...
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has emerged in oil and gas industries as a superior substitution to the conventional HPAM xanthan gum (XG) for high viscosity polymer flooding application. In this study, combined effect of surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) CMC potential surfactant-polymer (SP) enhanced recovery (EOR) been investigated. Thereafter, SDBS – interaction functional groups present were appropriately identified. The presence various C–O bonds signifies existence...
Abstract Carbonate reservoirs hold a significant portion of the world's hydrocarbon resources. However, carbonate pose challenge in determining reservoir permeability utilizing standard evaluation techniques. Hence, to correctly estimate reservoir, an method that includes pore size distribution information is required. Therefore, primary aim this study was improve estimation by incorporating distribution-sensitive measurements into conventional workflow Astaka build-up. Herein resolution log...
