Multifunctional Nanocomposites for Oil and Gas
The ability to design and manufacture highly engineered multiphase materials enables the independent (actually interdependent) control over physical and mechanical properties, and kinetic response of structural materials. The production of "materials that do more" offer [...]
Field Application of Nanoparticle-Based Invert Emulsion Drilling Fluids
Abstract. Application of nanotechnology in drilling fluids for the oil and gas industry has been a focus of several recent studies (Zakaria et al. 2012; Contreras et al., 2014). Zakaria et al. (2012) developed a [...]
Development of New Surfactants for CO2 Foam Enhanced Oil Recovery
Sweep efficiency in CO2 enhanced oil recovery processes are major problem owing to the unfavorable mobility of CO2. One method of controlling CO2 mobility is through the use of foam. CO2 foam in the past [...]
Inert, Corrosion Resistant CVD Coating for Oil and Gas Service
Estimates of the cost of corrosion within US industries often exceed $150 billion. Challenges within the often complicated production techniques of the oil and gas industry have led to increased efforts to control these costs. [...]
Fabrication and Design of Carbon Nanomaterials Based Scale Monitoring Smart Sensor Systems
Scale is the creation of inorganic soluble salts from aqueous brines during oil and gas production. The scale deposits at the internal surface of the pipelines under the supersaturation conditions. The deposition of the scale [...]
In situ transesterification of wet microalgae under acid catalysts
Microalgae can be categorized to be the third generation of promising biofuel resources and can utilize carbon dioxide from flue gas as a nutrient source and accumulate lipids inside cells. They grow faster than any [...]
Technical and Economical Feasibility of Pyrolysis of Kraft Lignin
This research project discusses the technical and economical feasibility of converting kraft lignin to value-added chemicals. Two pyrolysis techniques were implemented: conventional pyrolysis using classical heating and microwave pyrolysis using electromagnetic irradiation. The product distribution [...]
The Scale-up of Fluidized-bed Gasifier
Gasification is a good method to upgrade solid fuel. The fluidized-bed gasifier is widely used for the gasification of low-rank coal and biomass. IHI develops a fluidized-bed gasifier TIGAR(Twin IHI GAsifieR). It is important to [...]
