Characterization of Solids from Oilfield Emulsions

Isolation and Characterization of Oil-Degrading Bacteria from One of South Sumatera’s Oilfield

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a tertiary oil recovery method that utilizes microbes to enhance oil production. This research was focused on the isolation and characterization of indigenous bacteria from a South Sumatra’s oilfield which were able to degrade heavy crude oil and decrease oil viscosity. The total of 33 colonies were successfully isolated based on sequential isolation me...

Greenhouse gas emissions from oilfield-produced water in Shengli Oilfield, Eastern China.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil and gas systems are an important component of the GHG emission inventory. To assess the carbon emissions from oilfield-produced water under atmospheric conditions correctly, in situ detection and simulation experiments were developed to study the natural release of GHG into the atmosphere in the Shengli Oilfield, the second largest oilfield in China. The ...

Crude Oil Emulsions – Composition Stability and Characterization

Oilfield Review - Summer 2012

Chemical, physical characterization and salinity distribution of the oilfield water in the Upper Sandstone Member of the Zubair reservoir at Rumaila North Oilfield, Southern Iraq

The oilfield water in the Upper Sandstone Member of the Zubair reservoir (Barriemian-Hauterivian) at Rumaila North Oil Field was investigated for the interpretation of salinity and geochemical evolution of brine compositions. The interaction of the oilfield water with reservoir rock resulted in a brine water derived from the marine water origin of partial mixing with meteoric water similar to t...
