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...

Nano-Emptiness Space of Oil-Bearing Rocks  Cancer-Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science -Juniper Publishers JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-RECENT ADVANCES IN PETROCHEMICAL SCIENCE  NANO-EMPTINESS SPACE OF OIL-BEARING ROCKS Authored by Osovetsky B The electron microscopic and X-ray tomography studies of oil-bearing rocks showed a great variety and wide volume limits of an emptiness space. It includes macro- and with the corresponding micro-fragments of space closely connected each other. Micro-emptiness space predominates in volume in thin-grained terrigenous rocks, especially in argillites. But even in carbonate rocks it plays very important role as system of canals for oil migration. To read more...... Fulltext in Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science in  JuniperPublishers
