A fundamental research study is conducted to confirm the potential usefulness of chelating agents in dispersing settled barite, emphasize the complex nature of the factors that control this process, and provide a solid basis for future studies aimed at optimizing dispersion methods in industrial applications. -
This paper proposes a holistic, automatic, and real-time characterization of cuttings/cavings, including their volume, size distribution, and shape/morphology, while integrating 3D data with high-resolution images to pursue this objective for use in the real-time assessment of hole cleaning sufficiency and wellbore stability and, consequently, for the prediction, prev…

This paper presents a novel modeling framework for predicting residual oil saturation in carbonate rocks. The proposed framework uses supervised machine learning models trained on data generated by pore-scale simulations and aims to supplement conventional coreflooding tests or serve as a tool for rapid residual oil saturation evaluation of a reservoir.
