(2019-07-12)
Mesoporous materials have generated a lot of interest over the past few decades owing to their wide range of applications in catalysis, separation, drug delivery, sensors, adsorption, photonics, nanodevices etc. To realise ...
Improving Lifting Capacity and Modelling Hydraulics of Local Based Muds Flowing Through Vertical Pipes
(2019-06-12)
Drilling mud plays an integral part in drilling operations to perform several functions some of which are to cool drill bits, provide hydrostatic pressure and give information about subsurface formation. The cutting ...
Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Lithium and Cobalt from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
(2019-07-12)
The demand for lithium-ion batteries is high because of their high energy and power density, which most time is influenced by the lithium-ion cathode chemistry. However, the need for expensive and scarce metals, such as ...

Analysis of Real Option Approaches for Oilfield Valuations
(AUST, 2019-06-10)
More than three decades have passed since Stewart Myers coined the term “real options” and introduced this new paradigm into the investment science. In the following years a number of publications in both the finance and ...
Evaluation of Some Characteristics of the Barite Deposits in Ribi, Nassarawa State for Industrial Application
(AUST, 2019-07-15)
This study aimed at characterizing and evaluating the viability of barite deposits within Ribi for industrial applications. There is an inadequacy of information as regards mineralization, chemical and geotechnical properties ...
Selection of the Right Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid for Unconventional Reservoir Engineering
(AUST, 2019-07-12)
Unconventional resources are of major importance to the oil and gas industry due to its enormousness, however, due to the low permeability of these resources, there is a need for hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing ...
Multiphase Flow Assurance in Subsea Tiebacks
(AUST, 2019-06-15)
Gas hydrate is one of the major plagues of gas wells in the industry, capital costs to prevent hydrate blockage in pipelines is an dissociation temperatures for the operating pressures. The model developed was tested on ...
