Kinetics of Mixed Amino Acid and Ionic Liquid on CO<sub>2</sub> Hydrate Formation Open
The formation of gas hydrate in oil and gas and carbon dioxide sequestration processing pipelines is unwanted and must be prevented for easy and safety processes. However, conventional kinetic hydrate inhibitors are less effective and thus…

Incorporating critical fault properties controlling hydrocarbon accumulation in 3D basin and petroleum system modelling: a case study in the northern North Sea Open
Fault properties are very important parameters in migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in sedimentary basins. However, there are still several different schools of thought on how to incorporate such prospect-bounding fault properties…

Investigation of Plastering Effect in Casing-while-Drilling – A CFD Study Open
In conventional oil and gas well drilling, filter cake builds up on the wellbore wall due to overbalance pressure which forces the drilling fluid into the rock formation and leaves solid particles on the wellbore wall. The presence of a fi…

Static dissolution-induced 3D pore network modification and its impact on critical pore attributes of carbonate rocks Open
To determine the effect of dissolution on pore network development in carbonate rocks, dissolution experiments, X-Ray microtomography, and thin section analysis were conducted on argillaceous limestone and grain limestone samples at differ…

Study on different concentrations of nanoparticles as agent of oil recovery efficiency in high salinity reservoir Open
Most oil reservoirs around the world are experiencing their second half of life. Hence, the necessity of appropriate enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method as a more efficient technology gets further importance. Nanotechnology is an advanced t…

Characterization of pore systems in carbonates using 3D X-Ray computed tomography Open
It is well-known that prediction of petrophysical parameters which is closely linked to pore system
\ncomplexities is always challenging especially for carbonate rock study. This paper describes and
\ncharacterizes the pore systems within …

Application of attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) to evaluate impact of rock heterogeneities on hydrocarbon distribution in deltaic reservoir sandstones Open
Hydrocarbon functional groups distribution have been analyzed on 1*1cm grid on sample surfaces
\nusing ATR-FTIR spectroscopy to determine hydrocarbon bond type variation and factors controlling it.
\nMicropermeability measurements have bee…

Modeling the impacts of petrophysical and textural parameters on dissolution of carbonate rocks at 25°C, 50°C, and 75°C Open
Carbonate rocks react easily with the surrounding environment, especially in acidic environment.
\nThis property leads to very complex and heterogeneous fabric but can also be an important
\nadvantage in EOR method and CO2 sequestration. E…

Petrophysical and Reservoir Characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks From Offshore West Baram Delta, Sarawak Basin, Malaysia Open
Sedimentary successions in the Baram Delta consist mainly of alternating sandstones and siltstones
\nwith rare intercalations of mudstones. This study examines the petrophysical variations
\nbetween these Middle to Upper Miocene sedimentar…
