Delhi Field is a producing oil field located in northeastern Louisiana. The estimated original oil in place (OOIP) is 357 mmbo and approximately 54% of OOIP has been produced through the primary production and water-flooding. A CO2-EOR program has been implemented since November…

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) is an elegant method to abate global warming by chemically fixing a major green house gas (GHG), carbon dioxide (CO2). Major synthesis products include economically attractive chemicals like methanol, formic acid methane and ethy…
Over several decades of water flooding development, quite a few Minnelusa reservoirs are getting close to the economic limit of the secondary recovery. High heterogeneity, the typical characteristic of the Minnelusa reservoirs plus complex salinity distribution is challenging th…
Studies were conducted to determine the distribution and abundance of the southern buffalo gnat, Cnephia pecuarum, in Arkansas. Field collections determined adult occurrence in 24 counties in southern and eastern Arkansas. Greatest adult density was 7,160 gnats/24 hr. Seasonal o…
A major limitation in quantifying terrestrial carbon storage and predicting its sensitivity to climate change stems from our inability to separate CO2 uptake during photosynthesis from its release during respiration. To better predict the feedback between climatic changes and pr…
The arc exhumation hypothesis states that new basalt-rich sources lifted during arc-continent collisions cause atmospheric PCO\sb2 drawdown and global cooling. Drawdown lags the early release of CO\sb2 and ¹⁸⁷Os from uplifted continental margin sediments. It generally precedes r…
Changes in carbon dioxide concentration and/or ocean circulation are generally invoked to explain both equable early Miocene climates and subsequent rapid East Antarctic ice sheet (EAIS) expansion in the middle Miocene. However, pCO\sb2 trends and absolute magnitudes must be inf…
The building and construction industry is the third-largest producer of CO2 in Canada. Additionally, emissions from this industry are expected to go up by more than nine megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) by the year 2030. As such, we need to find ways to reduce…
Currently, the humanity is encountering two major crises: energy deficiency and global warming. In order to resolve these crises, we should consider maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing its usage. Furthermore, we should develop alternative energy sources (e.g. wind, solar…
The capture and utilization of CO2 have significant potential applications in the chemical and power generation industries, as well as in space applications. For the proper performance of space life-support systems, for example, the removal from the cabin atmosphere of the CO2 p…
The goal of this dissertation is to study the transport and separation properties of fluid mixtures confined in enclosing media, i.e., by pores. In particular, molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the adsorption, transport, permeation and separation properties…
