First Principle Study: Absorption of Molecular Hydrogen Sulphide on Gold Clusters
(2009-11-13)We present theoretical results of the study of H 2 S adsorption on gold cluster Au n (n = 1, 5) using density functional theory with Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation energy functional. Minimum energy ...

Ab Initio Density Study of N and O Coadsorption on Pt(100) and Pt(111)
(2009-11-13)We have used ab initio density functional theory to study the coadsorption of N and O on Pt(100) and Pt(111) surfaces. Our calculations show that on Pt(100) the most favourable site is the hollow site for N and the bridge ...

Application of Minimum Curvature method to Well-path Calculations
(2009-12-04)A major drawback of directional and horizontal well drilling is the numerous complex computations required to be done while planning a well. These computations are very stressful and time consuming especially when done ...

Case Study of Natural Flow and Artificial Lift for a Solution Gas Drive Reservoir
(2009-12-08)Solution gas drive reservoirs are characterized by rapid and continuous decline of reservoir pressure. This rapid and continuous decline of reservoir pressure causes direct decline of reservoir performance at early stages ...

Pressure Analysis of a Well with an Inclined Asymmetric Hydraulic Fracture
(2009-12-08)Hydraulic fracturing is an effective well stimulation technique which is introduced in the 1950s and widely used in the oil and gas industry. Most of the works about hydraulic fracture assumed that the fracture is symmetric ...

Semigroups of Linear Operators and Application to Differential Equations
(2009-12-08)This work concerns one of the most important tools to solve well-posed problems in the theory of evolution equations (e.g di usion equation, wave equations, ...) and in the theory of stochastic process, namely the semigroups ...

A Study of the Effect of Liquid Flow Rate, Pipe Size and Pipe Orientation on the Liquid Hold-Up Using Beggs and Brill Correlation
(2009-12-15)The effect of liquid flow rate, pipe size (diameter) and pipe orientation (inclination) on liquid hold-up was investigated. Liquid flow rate between 500 STB/day and 5000 STB/day was studied. An oil of 25 ̊API at an average ...

A Review of the Rheological Effects of Power Law Drilling Fluids on Cuttings Transportation in Non-Vertical Boreholes
(2009-12-15)Cuttings transportation during in non-vertical boreholes is necessary for oil and gas wells. Adequate cuttings removal from a well in drilling is critical for cost-effective drilling as high annular cuttings buildup often ...

Review of Application of Pressure Derivative Concept to Multirate Tests
(2009-12-15)Pressure build-up data in low permeability reservoirs take too long and are usually of poor quality. A pressure buildup test is perhaps the most widely performed transient test. In pressure buildup test, a well which has ...

Clay Filtration of Microbes and Fluoride
(2010-06-07)Consumption of contaminated water may result in several water-borne diseases, including hepatitis, typhoid, cholera, dysentery and other diseases that cause diarrhoea. One of the ways this problem can be prevented is by ...
