With the ever increasing need to optimize production, the accurate understanding of the mechanics of multi-phase flow and its effect on the pressure drop along the oil-well flow string is becoming more pertinent. The ...

Wireless sensor networks, thanks to recent technological advances, has become prevalent and offer a variety of applications ranging from environmental monitoring to support and automate chores fields. However, this very ...

The first part of this study discussed in details the two major model that was developed for the study of a multilayer reservoir system. They are the Dual permeability model proposed by Bourdet and the semipermeability ...

Deep Neural Networks are now deployed for many modern artificial Intelligence applications including computer vision, speech recognition, self-driving cars, cancer detection, gaming and robotics. Inspired by the mammalian ...

Computer software is used extensively to increase productivity and reduce man's hours of labour. This work presents the development of a solids control software (SOLCON) which is designed for real time mud system management ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is a useful theoretical and computational tool for electronic structure calculations, which form the basis for the classification of materials into conductors, semiconductors or insulators. ...

Gas condensate reservoirs are single phase at the initial condition. It changes to multiphase when the reservoir conditions are located between the critical point and the cricondentherm of the reservoir in the phase envelope. ...

Wax is often precipitated out of solution in waxy crude oil found in most oil reservoirs around the world, especially as the production of oil and gas has moved from on shore to more challenging terrains offshore. Waxes ...

This research work mainly investigates the development and the behavior of cones (both water and gas cones) in oil reservoirs supported by strong aquifer, and from which analytical correlations are developed for quick ...

Proper management of thin oil rim reservoirs is required to maximize recovery and minimizes coning tendencies. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of reservoir and fluid properties on coning tendencies ...

Oil deposits are often found in association with a communicating gas or water zone. The production of the oil often leads to the coning of water or gas. This dynamic interaction can be captured by a properly detailed ...

The technology of Organ regeneration and Bionics is fast being adopted to the 21st century medicine. While the regenerative organs will help overcome the challenge of donor and acceptor of organs, bionics present with an ...

The artificial intelligence (AI) domain grows every day with new algorithms and architectures. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), a branch of AI has become a very interesting domain since the eighties when the back-propagation ...

A data-driven approach to solving the problem of excess water production was the focus of this study. In this research, several reservoir models were simulated for 26 years, and data obtained after simulation was used to ...

The research is aimed at the understanding of the various diagnostic plots for the analysis of water production that are available as well as the application of these methods in a case study. It also aimed at the establishment ...

This project deals mainly with Differential Forms on smooth Riemannian manifolds and their applications through the properties of their classical Differential and Integral Operators. The calculus of Differential Forms ...

This thesis presents silica nanoparticles for the controlled release of AMACR-conjugated doxorubicin for the inhibition of prostate cancer cell growth. Inorganic MCM-41 silica nanoparticles were synthesized, functionalized ...

During drilling operations, special attention must be given to wellbore hydraulics to ensure functional, safe, economic, and environmentally responsible delivery of the well. The Hydraulics system shares common purposes ...

Due to the growing concern of deforestation, renewable materials such as recycled cellulosic waste and non-wood fibres provide an alternative solution for partial replacement of wood resources as a reinforcement agent in ...
