Oilfield chemistry
This study compares water-based chemicals that can be used for enhancing the oil recovery of shale-oil reservoirs, including surfactants, nanoparticles, and ketones.
The experience captured in this paper illustrates the potential of deepwater riserless wireline subsea intervention capability and the fact that it can be expanded beyond hydraulic-only, simple mechanical, and plugging-and-abandonment scopes.
This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing the rapid mineral carbonation of carbon dioxide through geochemical interactions with carbon-, magnesium-, and iron-rich minerals abundant in geological formations.

This study aims to optimize the use of rhamnolipid biosurfactants for enhancing the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. -
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.
