Development and Testing of Thermosensitive Poly(NIPAm-AA)/Nano-SiO2 Composite Blocking Agent for Shale Gas Drilling Operations
Nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in energy industry and has the potential to revolutionize the drilling industry. Traditional blocking agents are difficult to form effective mud cake to prevent liquid penetration due [...]
Asphaltene processing with suspended nanocatalyst. Relevance to in situ upgrading
Hot fluid injection is a patented process developed at the University of Calgary by a group of researchers at the Schulich School of Engineering. It focuses on reducing the environmental footprint of heavy oil production [...]
A Novel Approach to Reducing Water and Energy Consumption in Oil Production
Of all the oil discovered in the world to date, 60-70% remains trapped in the reservoir. Glori Energy has developed a novel oil recovery biotechnology, the AERO (Activated Environment for Recovery of Oil) Technology, which [...]
Rheological Characterization of a Novel Viscoelastic Surfactant for Subsurface Applications
Viscoelastic solutions (VES) are used in many applications including oil and gas operations regarding reservoir stimulation and enhanced oil recovery to modify rheology properties in the subsurface. In general, the viscoelastic property of the surfactant [...]
Rheological Behavior of Novel Switchable Cationic Surfactant in High Salinity Carbonate Reservoirs
The use of viscoelastic (VES) or polymer-like surfactant solutions are important in applications related to enhanced oil recovery and subsurface conformance control. VES resembles polymer where it acts as a mobility control agent to promote [...]
Regeneration of used motor oil by supercritical carbon dioxide
Motor oil is used for lubrication in all kinds of cars and engines, which leads to large quantities of used motor oil. 570 million litres of used motor oil are produced every year in the [...]
Fluorescent post-synthetic modified MOFs for methane sensing
Since the last decade, Colombia has been experienced a boom in coal mining due to the large amount of environmental licenses granted by the government. The growth of this activity triggered a concern in finding [...]
