The volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the petals of Rosa damascena Mill. (Rosaceae) was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The yield of the oil was 0.12 % (v/w). Fifty compounds representing 99.06 % of the oil were characterized. The volatile oil was found rich in sesquiterpenes and aliphatic components, consisting of two monoterpenic es...

The volatile oil from Boletopsis leucomelas (Pers.) Fayod was extracted by hydrodistillation with diethylether, and the volatile components of the oil were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The oil contained 86 components, representing 87.5% of the total oil. The main components of the oil were linoleic acid (15.0%), phenylacetaldehyde (11.2%), and palmitic acid (9.4%). Furtherm...

Colloidal Gas Aphron as a mobility control in enhanced oil recovery is becoming attractive; it is also designed to block porous media with micro-bubbles. In this paper, the effects of surfactant concentration, polymer concentration, temperature and salinity on the bubble size of the Colloidal Gas Aphron were studied. Effects of injection rates, Colloidal Gas Aphron fluid composition, heterogene...

in recent decades energy sector has been most important division in sociopolitical national and international dialogs. policy making in energy sector in iran is a strategic subject because of independency of our national revenue to oil & gas export in one way and huge oil & gas reservoirs in iran (137 billion barrel in oil and 28.3 million cubic meter in gas) in other hand. this paper investiga...

The process of hydraulic fracturing for recovery of oil and natural gas uses large amounts of fresh water and produces a comparable amount of wastewater, much of which is typically transported by truck. Truck transport of water is an expensive and energy-intensive process with significant external costs including roads damages, and pollution. The integrated development plan (IDP) is the industr...

the effect of inclusion of garlic essential oil (eo) at 33, 66 and 100 μg ml-1, raw garlic (gar) at 5, 10 and 15 mg ml-1 and monensin (mon) at 7.5 μg ml-1 of incubation medium on organic matter digestibility (omd) was studied with in vitro gas production, ankom daisyii and conventional in vitro (ivomd) methods. the material was incubated with sheep ruminal fluid and the experimental design was ...

As the technology of enhanced oil recovery by gas injection has already been applied worldwide, the research of the transmit mechanism between injected-gas and oil is important to the optimization of gas injection plan. Diffusion is an important phenomenon during the process of gas injection displacement. Because of diffusion, gas molecules will penetrate into the oil phase, while the oil will ...

Landscape modification due to rapidly expanding energy development, in particular oil and gas, in the westernUSA, have prompted concerns over how such developments may impact wildlife. One species of conservation concern across much of the Intermountain West is the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercusurophasianus). Sage-grouse have been petitioned for listing under provisions of the Endangered Spe...

Implementation of hydraulic fracturing dramatically altered the fundamentals in the oil and gas markets. A new technology rst got implemented in the natural gas market, but by 2012 unprecedentedly low gas prices forced most exploration rms to switch to shale oil exploration. Large capital expenditure on drilling activity resulted in the growth of oil production in the US, and likely triggered t...

in this paper, a model based on gmdh type neural network, is used to predict gas price in the spot market while using oil spot market price, gas spot market price, gas future market price, oil future market price and average temperature of the weather. the results suggest that gmdh neural network model, according to the root mean squared error (rmse) and direction statistics (dstat) statistics ...
