Hydrogen has become increasingly popular as one of the alternative fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Storing hydrogen in geological structures is a technology that shows great potential storing large amounts efficiently. However, this relatively new and requires clear understanding. Therefore, quick review underground storage needed understand its fundamental concepts. This article presents important components relevant storage. First, some currently available production methods are...
Abstract Carbon dioxide has gradually found widespread usage in the field of science and engineering while various efforts have focused on ways to combat menace resulting from release this compound atmosphere. A major approach combating is by storage geological formations ranging depleted reservoir types such as saline aquifers other carbon sinks. In research study, we reviewed experimental, modeling, studies related underground CO 2 . considerable amount been conducted simulating modeling...
The need to reduce surfactant adsorption on rock surfaces has been a difficult task in chemical enhanced oil recovery, as it directly impacts the economics of project. This requires comprehensive insight into mechanism rocks. an in-house cationic gemini different rocks studied this work. novel is compatible with high temperature and salinity environments. All experiments were conducted at room deionized water. Adsorption sandstone was found be significantly higher than that carbonates...
In chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) techniques, surfactants are extensively used for enhancing by reducing interfacial tension and/or modifying wettability. However, the effectiveness and economic feasibility of cEOR process compromised due to adsorption on rock surfaces. Therefore, surfactant must be reduced make efficient economical. Herein, synergic application low salinity water a cationic gemini was investigated in carbonate rock. Firstly, (IFT) oil-brine interface with at various...
Application of foam in various upstream operations, such as enhanced oil recovery, has gained significant attention recent years. A good foaming agent should generate a stable foam, must be thermally (>90 °C, typical reservoir temperature), have high tolerance to salinity, and low adsorption on the rock. In view this, four salt-tolerant polyoxyethylene cationic gemini surfactants were synthesized with different spacers (mono phenyl biphenyl) counterions (Br− Cl−). Foaming properties...
This study investigates the inhibition performance of ionic liquids (ILs) on clay (montmorillonite) swelling and possible mechanism. The adsorption various types ILs in was studied by isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Experiments were conducted at different concentrations for ILs. Moreover, isotherms modeled using Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Redlich–Peterson, Fritz–Schlunder models. type model fitting used to evaluate stability terms...
Abstract Dew point is an important thermodynamic parameter for a gas condensate reservoir and has very complicated nature due to its reliance on the composition of mixture. For accurate prediction this property, it imperative develop models that are not computationally expensive. Currently, there exists various methodologies estimate dew pressure at temperatures hydrocarbon compositions. These methods include equation states (EOS), analytical methods, empirical correlations. however, have...
Abstract Over the past two decades, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has become one of prominent techniques to increase reservoir. EOR consist four different i.e. thermal, chemical, microbial and gas injection. Gas injection/flooding is most robust applied technique for light EOR. comprise processes called miscible flooding immiscible flooding. Miscible process in which both injection fluid reservoir are miscible. The minimum pressure at injecting, fluids miscible–is commonly known as Minimum...
This study was aimed at understanding how the interfacial tension (IFT) between novel ethoxylated cationic gemini surfactants and oil is affected by various spacer types. These possess similar hydrophobic tails, ethoxy units, head groups, effect of nature on IFT exclusively studied. were mainly classified into three different groups to examine length, unsaturation, aromaticity. The spacers first group composed numbers methylene units (4, 6, 8, 10, 12). second consists where have saturation,...
