(2016-08-05)With the wide application of nanotechnology in petroleum industry, transportation of nanoparticles in porous media has attracted a growing interest. This thesis focuses on investigating the bulk and adsorption properties ...
-
(2014-05-02)Streptomycetes, as nonmotile microbes, are forced to adapt to environmental conditions they cannot escape. In order to adapt to their environment streptomycetes produce an array of both secondary metabolites to antagonize ...

(2012-02-14)Studying chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in a high-temperature/high-salinity (HT/HS) reservoir will help expand the application of chemical EOR to more challenging environments. Until recently, chemical EOR was not ...
-
(2016-07-28)Regular HCl has been used for years in carbonate stimulation treatment because it reacts rapidly with carbonate rocks. However, due to fast reaction, the acid reacts near the wellbore area and is not able to travel deeper ...
-
(2018-05-01)Due to their ultra-low permeability and extremely heterogeneous formations, unconventional liquids-rich reservoirs (ULR) need a support of an effective hydraulic fracturing for economic and commercial oil production. In ...
-
(2012-01-20)Nanoparticles (NPs) of different geometries, including 0-dimeansional (0-D) ZnO QDs, 1-D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and 2-D α-zirconium phosphate nanoplatelets (ZrP), have been purified and dispersed in various media. The ...
