A 2-D radial compositional simulator was used to investigate the effect of liquid drop out on the productivity of a rich gas condensate reservoir. A seven layer reservoir model was constructed based on well logs and core analysis data. A two phase relative permeability model was…
Experience has shown that the response of oil wells to sandstone matrix acidizing is different from the response of gas wells. For oil wells, the improvement in permeability resulting from the stimulation treatment peaks at a certain acid volume and then decreases as the acid vo…
Why is there a variance in the size of investment by American multinational corporations (MNCs) in the oil and gas sectors of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan? All ten of the leading oil MNCs in the world petroleum industry have invested in the region. However, the size of investment b…
The oil and gas industry in Libya has suffered a number of health and safety accidents including environmental disasters due to the nature of the work involved and the hazardous materials it handles in all facets of exploration and production. Such issues have hitherto not recei…
This thesis discusses the preliminary development of a microfluidic system for low concentration vapour analysis incorporating a novel analyte preconcentration method to extend vapour detection limits. The topicality of this subject is evidenced by the urgent requirement to dete…
Neutron detection is a technique essential to homeland security, nuclear reactor instrumentation, neutron diffraction science, oil-well logging, particle physics and radiation safety. The current shortage of helium-3, the neutron absorber used in most gas-filled proportional cou…
The use of gas in alkaline-surfactant flooding (Alkaline-Surfactant-Gas (ASG) process) can be an alternative to the use of polymer, especially in carbonate reservoirs that generally have low permeability and contain vugs and fractures, for improving the displacement efficiency. …
Effects of greenhouse gases on the gas exchange of forest trees; The impacts of greenhouse gases on antioxidants and foliar defence compounds; Above-ground growth and function of roots and root systems; Impacts of greenhouse gases on the phenology of forest trees; Effects of ele…
This book provides a general overview of syngas technologies as well as an in-depth analysis of the steam reforming process. Syngas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon oxides which can be made from hydrocarbons, coal and biomass. It is an important intermediate in the chemical i…
In industry, miscommunication can cause frustration, create downtime, and even trigger equipment failure. By providing a common ground for more effective discourse, the Dictionary of Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Processing can help eliminate costly miscommunication. An essential …
World energy demand is surging. Oil, coal and natural gas still meet most global energy needs, creating serious implications for the environment. One result is that CO2 emissions, the principal cause of global warming, are rising. This new study underlines the close link between…
