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...

Juniper Publishers Abstract X-ray diffraction method has been used by many researchers in order to study the structure of films. In this work, amorphous structure or polycrystalline magnesium oxide thin films could be identified using this technique. Furthermore, the grain sizes could be measured using X-ray diffraction data as well. Keywords: Magnesium oxide, Thin films, Semiconductor, Deposition, Grain size Introduction Oxide materials [1-12] and metal chalcogenide thin films [13-21] are widely employed in the producing of solar cells, sensor devices, laser devices, optoelectronics devices, integrated circuits, and microelectronics. There are many groups of scientists from different countries involved to study these materials [22-29]. In this work, magnesium oxide (MgO) films were prepared using various deposition techniques. Magnesium oxide was chosen due to it has a high melting temperature, stable a...

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...
