A global optimization framework for stochastic integrated refinery planning with nonlinear unit models under demand and price uncertainties
(2020-09-11)
The refining industry is facing increased volatility in the global market such as lower economic margins. In this situation, refinery production planning becomes a substantial tool to utilize all potentials to extend the ...
The exploration of equivalent alkane carbon number of molecules
(2020)
This work strives to be a useful compilation of hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLD) information with a focus on explaining the current understanding of Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number (EACN). The industrial interests ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(2016-12-16)
Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ...
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
(2014-12-12)
In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
Removal of Residual Oil From Produced Water Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
(2019-08)
The production of wastewater during hydrocarbon recovery is an unresolvable factor of the oil and gas industry. Oil wells in the US produce on average, nearly 10 barrels of water for every 1 barrel of oil. Most of the ...
RHEOLOGY OF AQUEOUS AND POLYMER-BASED NITROGEN FOAMS AT HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HPHT) CONDITIONS
(2017-05-12)
Foams are complex mixtures of gas and liquid held together by a surfactant at the gas-water interface. The use of foams find application in many industrial operations such as underbalanced drilling fluid, fracturing fluid ...
