IMPROVED SURFACTANT PERFORMANCES IN POROUS MEDIA: EFFECTS OF HYDROTROPES AND BIO-COLSOVENTS
Yuan, Na (2018-12)Surfactant flooding for the mobilization of residual oil is a promising technology for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR). A significant economic barrier to the widespread use ... -
Study of CO2 Solubility in Brine and Mineralization in Mafic Basaltic Formations
Al Maqbali, Qais (2023-05)A huge amount of CO2 emissions should be mitigated for environmental benefits and to reach net zero by 2050. One method to mitigate these emissions is permanent CO2 sequestration through mineralization. CO2 can be mineralized ... -
A Systematic approach to determine the optimal production rate to inhibit asphaltene deposition
Nosakhare, Adesuwa (2016-08)This thesis utilizes a systematic mathematical model, scaling analysis, to quantify the effect of production rate on asphaltene deposition, using a set of uniquely described mathematical equations modeled for the deposition ... -
TRIAXIAL AND INJECTION EXPERIMENTS ON ROCKS AND THEIR IMPACT ON PERMEABILITY AND ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS
Bakshi, Rohit (2017-05-12)Understanding the various micromechanical processes that occur in a rock under in-situ stress conditions has been a major imperative of rock mechanics. Some of the applications of rock mechanics include the science of ...
