(2019-07-22)Oil production from the fractured tight reservoirs has been increasing since the early 2000s and now accounts for a large portion of onshore US oil production. Complex fracture network composed of hydraulic fractures and ...
-
(2014-05-22)Sea surface temperature accessible through use of remote sensing techniques (IR imaging, etc.) suggests abundant flow and thermal field information at the ocean surface that is closely related to subsurface turbulent ...
-
(2010-07-14)Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP) process is a tertiary method of oil recovery that has promising results for future development. It has already been implemented in different areas of the United States such as Wyoming, ...
-
(2018-04-16)The addition of surfactant to the completion fluid of a shale oil well has been widely believed to improve well performance. Previous laboratory studies showed that the method is based on enhanced capillary-driven spontaneous ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Factors that affect liquid chemical intervention methods of controlling pathogens on fresh-cut produce were investigated. The relationship between produce tissue structure (intercellular space, cell size, and cell distribution) ...
-
(2022-04-13)This study investigates how the structure of surfactant molecules interacts with the crude oil/rock/brine system characteristic of unconventional liquid reservoirs. In most cases, the interaction results in the improvement ...
-
(2010-07-14)The biodegradation kinetics of Geropon TC-42 (trademark) by an acclimated culture was investigated in anoxic batch reactors to determine biokinetic coefficients to be implemented in two biofilm mathematical models. Geropon ...
-
(2023-04-12)This research aims to develop foam chelates to facilitate their distribution over target zones to improve mobility control. The use of a conventional acid cannot produce acceptable stimulation results because of major ...
-
(2014-07-18)The overreaching goal of this thesis research is to analyze liquid metal plug actuation in microfluidic channels and to exemplify this actuation in a tunable inductor design using liquid metal as a switching material, and ...
-
(2012-07-16)The role of surface chemical effects in hydraulic fracturing of shale is studied using the results of unconfined compression tests and Brazilian tests on Mancos shale- cored at depths of 20-60 ft. The rock mineralogy, total ...
-
(2010-07-14)Communication and reconnaissance systems are requiring increasing flexibility concerning functionality and efficiency for multiband and broadband frequency applications. Circuit-based reconfiguration mechanisms continue ...
-
(2022-01-03)Surfactant flooding has been shown to increase EOR potential in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Chemical surfactants have been demonstrated to potentially improve EOR in unconventional reservoirs such as shale. Surfactants of ...
-
(2020-04-09)Experimental observations and field applications have revealed that surfactants have significant potential to enhance oil recovery in unconventional liquid reservoirs (ULR). The objectives of this study are to determine ...
