Petroleum reserves are affected either negatively or positively by the type of fiscal system and elements governing them. Governments, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders have from the past been a victim of the ...

Numerical reservoir simulators are employed to obtain meaningful and reliable solutions for an actual case due to extreme complexity of the reservoirs systems. Wilcox formation is a reservoir in the gulf of Mexico with ...

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 ...

One of the ways of maximizing recovery from a reservoir is by drilling infill wells. Infill well placement is challenging because many well scenarios must be evaluated when undertaking the optimization program and very ...

AlSb is a semiconductor material which exist in 3D as well as 2D regimes. AlSb have a high electron mobility which is useful for application in high speed electronic devices. AlSb has potential applications in radiation ...

In the past years, several researches have been done on gas-condensate reservoir recovery performance using fully compositional simulators. Fully compositional simulators are more expensive, time consuming and have complex ...

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 ...

Oil reserves are now located in hard-to-reach locations. This, combined with low oil prices, makes drilling for new reserves very expensive and risky. Enhanced oil recovery, which increases the amount of oil that can be ...

Proper handling of sour gas produced is crucial to the development of sour reservoirs. Over years of research and practice, many methods of sour gas processing have been developed from the solid storage of sulfur to ...

Gas condensate reservoirs are initially discovered as single-phase gas reservoirs. As the reservoir is produced below the fluid dew-point pressure, an increase in condensate saturation in the near wellbore region occur ...

The Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH); also known as a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone can be utilized for targeted therapy with cytotoxic analogs, in which prodigiosin is linked to the [D-Lys6] LHRH. Our studies ...

There is a need for efficient energy storage to meet the world’s continuous demand for energy. The electrical energy storage devices available are conventional capacitors, electrochemical supercapacitors, batteries and ...

Barite is an exceptional non-metallic mineral composed of barium sulphate and it is used mainly by the oil and gas industry as drilling mud in deep drilling, where high pressure is encountered. The specific gravity of ...

Organolead trihalide perovskite solar cells have shown success as light absorbers in photovoltaic cells due to their efficiency increasing from 3.5% to over 20% within only five years. However, pinhole formation and ...

The use of Magnesium oxide (MgO) cement as a full replacement and viable alternative for Ordinary Portland Cement was studied. Rice husk, an agricultural waste, was calcined and synthesised to be used as a source of silica ...

Laterite is an eco-friendly construction material that has the ability of being re-cycled indefinitely. The research is aimed at achieving the effective utilization of laterite as a sustainable construction material by ...

In this study, the fracture toughness and resistance curve behaviour of laminated panels, produced from the tropical Nigerian bamboo species Bambusa vulgaris, were investigated to assess its potential for use as an alternative ...

This research focused on studying the suitability of a blend of plant extracts for sweet corrosion inhibition on carbon steel in 3.5% NaCl solution. A comparative study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of sweet ...

Methanol is normally used in the oil and gas industries for inhibiting gas hydrate. Before use, the methanol is normally stored in tanks often made of carbon steels and stainless steels, and these tanks are prone to corrosion ...

Recently, deep learning techniques have been used significantly for large scale image classification targeting wildlife prediction. This research adopted a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) and proposed a deep scalable ...
