The authors of this paper describe a study in which performance optimization was demonstrated in thermoplastic sealing systems for oil and gas equipment using 3D printing to manufacture multicomponent composite structures. -
SponsoredElectrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are the backbone of artificial lift operations, enabling the extraction of hydrocarbons from challenging reservoirs. However, their effectiveness is often compromised by the extreme downhole environment, characterized by soaring temperatures, high pressures, and exposure to aggressive fluids.
-
This polymer retention study examines temperature effect on an ATBS-based polymer, using single- and two-phase retention studies and different analytical methods in the presence and absence of oil.
-
This paper describes the qualification of a multilayer, open-cell matrix polymer system for the first horizontal deployment in an offshore gas well.
-
This paper presents a unique investigation into determining the sufficient concentration of hardness ions required to significantly reduce the adsorption of acrylamide-tertiary-butyl-sulfonate-based polymer with a focus on mitigating polymer retention in carbonate formations using softened brine.
-
In this paper, the authors propose polymer-assisted water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection as an alternative method to reduce gas mobility while reducing the mobility of the aqueous phase and, consequently, improving WAG performance.
-
This paper presents an evaluation of geopolymer cementing for use in oil and gas wells, specifically in the primary cementing of liner strings in the Permian Basin.
-
The authors of this paper discuss the use of dissolved polystyrene waste for the preparation of nanomembranes for separation of hydrocarbon pollutants from wastewater streams.
-
This paper describes the success of using a new low-equivalent-circulating-density organophilic clay-free inverted emulsion fluid in gas reservoirs at elevated temperatures and with differential pressures up to 4,500 psi.
-
This paper presents the interpretation of two polymer-injectivity tests performed in two giant light-oil high-salinity/high-temperature carbonate reservoirs onshore Abu Dhabi.
