Abstract: Formation damage refers to the impairment of petroleum-bearing formations by various adverse phenomena occurring in a manner to reduce the recovery of oil and gas from petroleum reservoirs. ...

Abstract: The experimental data indicate that water in freezing or thawing wet soils undergoes a gradual phase change. The mathematical forms of reported correlations of the unfrozen water content of soils varies from researcher to ...

Abstract: Physics of wax gel formation during shut-in is analyzed and described over a cross-section of a typical subsea pipeline. Two regions are identified during this process: the liquid and gel ...

Abstract: This article was erroneously published in the September issue. It should have been published in the December special issue on R&D in Offshore Petroleum Technology [1].

Abstract: A model for analysis and interpretation of the simultaneous deposition of paraffin and asphaltene in laboratory core tests is presented. This model incorporates the mass balance equations for ...

Abstract: Asphaltene precipitation and deposition during primary oil recovery and resulting reservoir formation damage are described by a phenomenological mathematical model. This model is applied using ...

Abstract: Underground gas storage inventory and conditions are predicted using a practical model and a noniterative solution algorithm. Various simulation scenarios concerning underground gas storage in ...

Abstract: Coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs are characterized as naturally fractured, dual porosity, low permeability, and water saturated gas reservoirs. Initially, the gas, water, and coal are at thermodynamic ...

Abstract: The rate of CO2 production in many states, primarily from coal-fired power plants, is such that it only takes a few years to fill up any depleted oil and gas reservoirs. In order to reduce ...
