Injectivity as a Critical Factor in The Performance of Water Flooding Operation
(AUST, 2021-04-02)
Petroleum exploration, development and operation usually involves large capital investments that requires maximum reserves be recovered, so as to compensate for initial investment efforts. To achieve such a goal, where the ...
Prediction of Liquid Holdup for a Multi-Plane System Using Artificial Neural Network
(AUST, 2020-12-03)
Liquid holdup was predicted for slug flow using the neural network toolbox available in MATLAB. Experimental data contained Liquid holdup measured at an interval of 5 seconds over a period of 12,000 time points for both ...
Assessing the Implications of Low Carbon Emissions on Future Oil Production in Nigeria
(AUST, 2021-06-13)
Nigeria economy solidly depends on fossil fuels, which serve as the major source of energy and revenue. Fossil fuels, especially petroleum, are readily available to meet the increasing energy demand of a growing population. ...
Framework for Optimal Economic Exploration and Exploitation of Petroleum Resources in Cameroon
(AUST, 2021-06-03)
Economic exploration and exploitation of petroleum resources is regarded as being optimal when the surrounding fiscal regime is mutually beneficial to both the government and the investors as well as other stakeholders, ...
Evaluation of Machine Learning Tools for Predicting Sand Production
(AUST, 2021-03-10)
Data analytics has only recently picked the interest of the oil and gas industry as it has made data visualization much simpler, faster, and cost-effective. This is driven by the promising innovative techniques in developing ...
Case Study of Estimating Wax Appearance Temperature and Application to Wax Deposition Modelling
(2021-12-12)
The need for cheap energy to run the world economy has propelled a lot of petroleum companies to produce oils that have high paraffin content. The paraffin, also referred to as wax, poses a problem when it forms and deposits ...
Feasibility Analysis of Ethane and Flue Gas Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery with a Niger Delta Case Study
(2021-05-12)
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using ethane gas or flue gas has proven to be successful in some regions of the world, but these methods have not been implemented in the Niger Delta. This work investigates the technical and ...
