JuniperPublishers-Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science

Juniper Publishers Abstract This paper reviews the recent challenges faced in oil and gas operations specifically the drilling and completion sector. The application of nanomaterials in drilling and completion operations in mitigating these challenges were analyzed as well as the factors retarding the growth of the application of this emerging technology. Introduction Nanomaterials are now a growing trend in this current age of technology. Its applications have cut across different kinds of sectors of the modern age industries. According to the US Foresight Institute, Nanomaterials can be defined as a group of emerging technologies in which the structure of matter is controlled at the nano scale to produce novel materials and devices that have useful and unique properties. This also brings about the creation of new materials with enhanced properties such as mechanically, optically, magnetically and many others. The oil and gas ha...

Effect of Injection Timing and Injector Opening Pressures on the Performance of Diesel Engine Fuelled with Ceiba Pentandra Oil Methyl Ester -Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science -Juniper Publishers JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-RECENT ADVANCES IN PETROCHEMICAL SCIENCE  EFFECT OF INJECTION TIMING AND INJECTOR OPENING PRESSURES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF DIESEL ENGINE FUELLED WITH CEIBA PENTANDRA OIL METHYL ESTER Authored by Banapurmath NR Experiments were carried out on a compression ignition (CI) engine to study its performance at different injection timings (IT), injector opening pressures (IOP) and nozzle holes. The Ceiba Pentandra oil methyl ester (CPOME) was selected to check its suitability as CI engine fuel. The engine was operated at 1500 rpm keeping hemispherical combustion chamber (HCC) shape and compression ratio of (CR) of 17.5. IT of 27 °C BTDC, IOP of 240 bar and injector of 5 holes yielded better performance.Maximum BTE for CPOME found to be ...

An Overview of Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods in Fractured Carbonated Reservoirs -Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science -Juniper Publishers JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-RECENT ADVANCES IN PETROCHEMICAL SCIENCE  AN OVERVIEW OF ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY METHODS IN FRACTURED CARBONATED RESERVOIRS Authored by Afshin Davarpanah In some cases that the fluid (oil) enter in the bottom of the well and the fluid pressure in the bottom of the well is not capable to bring them to wellhead, other techniques such as gas lift (gas is injected from the surface into the well and this gas with well oil creates mixed miscibility that the density is less than primary oil density and can be transmitted oil to wellhead with that bottom pressure) or down-hole pumps (the oil is pumped from the bottom to wellhead by this device) is used. But, this technique is not mentioned as one of EOR methods. To Read more.... Fulltext in Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science in JuniperPubli...
