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 ...

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 ...

The goal of an oil field development project is to accelerate the hydrocarbon production and maximize recovery at the lowest cost. Optimizing the production of oil from thin oil rim reservoirs poses a major challenge in ...

The texture and size distribution of various species of gangue minerals affect the beneficiation of barite and lower the specific gravity of barite as-mined. About 9% of the barite used in the oil industry in Nigeria is ...

Phishing is a social engineering attack that has been perpetuated for long and is still a prominent attack with an attending high number of victims. The adverse effect of this allows phishers easy access to sensitive ...

Sliding mode controllers are renowned for their robustness and fast dynamic response in speed control of direct current motors. The major drawback to their application is the chattering phenomenon which is harmful to ...

In recent times, the concepts of microsatellite development have been a versatile subject ranging from their ability to reduce overall cost of satellites to their improved efficiency and adaptability. This has brought new ...

Low gain and narrow bandwidth associated with microstrip patch antennas for satellite application is studied in this submission. Evaluation of the best feed technique with insertand edge using HFSS software was done with ...

Battery Management Systems (BMS) are tasked so as to provide an optimum and efficient control over the battery in any satellite EPS. Along with efficiency, these systems also require intelligent safety measures to avoid ...

Shortwave Broadband Irradiance (SBI) makes up about 96% of the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) received on earth, and it is known to be the major driver of climate change. The SBI also contains ultraviolet radiation, which ...

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 ...

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. ...

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, ...

In this work, we propose a one-step algorithm for solving variational inequality problems in a 2-uniformly con vex Banach space. Weak convergence of the scheme to a solution of variational inequality is established under ...

Let E be a real 2-uniformly convex Banach space with topological dual E∗. We established strong convergence for the class of variational inclusion for the sum of three monotone operators. More over, we give a variant of ...

In this thesis, we present an algorithm for solving a variation inclusion problem of sum of two monotone operators in real Banach spaces which uses variable step sizes that are updated over each iteration by some cheap ...

During polymer flooding in the reservoir using shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids, an interface exists between the in-situ Newtonian crude in the reservoir and the injected polymer solution. This work examines application ...

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 ...
