Oilfield chemistry
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
This paper reviews existing literature, the operator’s records, service-company data, and simulation studies to assess the risk of using seawater in carbonate acidizing.
A laboratory research study evaluates several different chemical injection concepts for the removal of elemental mercury from multiphase flow.

This study proposes graphene nanoplatelets as a preflush system to extend the lifetime of a conventional scale-inhibitor squeeze treatment. -
The process developed by Moscow’s Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology shows promising results in the laboratory, suggesting a novel method to produce hydrogen from natural gas reservoirs while trapping carbon in permanent storage.

The honor recognizes recipients for their lasting and significant contributions in the field of IOR.
-
This study emphasizes the vital need to evaluate well conditions and working-fluid compatibility with coiled tubing materials to prolong coiled tubing operational life.
-
Engineers desperately need an alternative to acid placement through pipe, coiled tubing, or bullheading. For example, propellants have been around for years; however, their performance has not quite met the hype. Nevertheless, several case histories have been authored to suggest their efficacy; historically, some treatments have even been wildly successful.

The effects of aging and temperature on the performance of one-part “just add water” granite based geopolymers are studied for application in well cementing and abandonment. Further studied is the role of zinc as a strength enhancer over a long curing period.

This paper presents the evaluation results of a water-shutoff agent based on an emulsion-type chemical material with nanoparticles.
-
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.
-
The best wells in which to find lithium are in old conventional fields where rusty pump jacks are pulling out mostly water.
