in this research the experimental and theoretical studies on different enhanced oil recovery (eor) techniques, i.e. water flooding (wf), gas injection (gi) and water alternating gas process (wag) were performed on specimens taken from an iranian carbonate offshore reservoir at the reservoir condition. the experimental results for each specified techniques were compared with the corresponding re...

prior to the implementation of co2 injection eor projects, the screening evaluation of candidate reservoirs will promote the economic benefits of co2 injection. currently, a uniform screening method for co2 miscible flooding does not exist. based on more than 112 successfully implemented co2 miscible flooding reservoirs, which was referred in 2010 worldwide eor survey, and co2 miscible flooding...

the biqian-10 block, located in henan oilfield of sinopic, contains many thin and interbedded reservoirs, which have been operated by cyclic steam stimulation for 20 years or more. therefore, it is a challenge to implement the conventional steam flooding. in order to improve the recovery of steam flooding, urea was used to assist steam flooding. urea can decompose into co2 and nh3, which are be...

In this article, the results of a study on energy absorption characteristics of foam-filled thin-walled structures with finite element analysis have been presented. Four specimens of thin walled structures have been filled with uniform foam and three specimens have been filled with linear four-layered foam. Also, eight layers HLH (High-Low-High) and eight layers LHL (Low-High-Low) have been sim...

The objective of this paper is to establish relationships between rainfall extremes and damage data from Dutch insurance industry. Rainfall data are based on a network of 33 automatic rain gauges held by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. Rainfall characteristics, such as peak rainfall intensity and rainfall volume, are correlated with damage statistics of claims in the vicinity of...

Flooding stress has a negative impact on soybean cultivation because it severely impairs growth and development. To understand the flooding responsive mechanism in early stage soybeans, a glycoproteomic technique was used. Two-day-old soybeans were treated with flooding for 2 days and roots were collected. Globally, the accumulation level of glycoproteins, as revealed by cross-reaction with con...

Abstract Most oil reservoirs in China have entered the stage of high water cut. Affected by heterogeneity reservoir, flow dominance channel is easily formed between injection-production wells plane direction such reservoirs, and phenomenon channelling intensified. Therefore, a numerical simulation study nitrogen foam flooding carried out this paper. According to reservoir characteristics target...

Aluminum foam has received considerable attention in various fields and is expected to be used as an engineering material owing to its high energy absorption properties and light weight. To improve the mechanical properties of aluminum foam, combining it with dense tubes, such as aluminum foam-filled tubes, was considered necessary. In this study, an aluminum foam-filled steel tube, which consi...

BACKGROUND The introduction of sclerotherapy using foam sclerosants has revitalized interest in this method of treating varicose veins. Foam is made from detergent-type sclerosants already established as safe and effective in conventional liquid sclerotherapy. OBJECTIVE European experts in foam sclerotherapy were invited to exchange their opinions and to work on consensus statements and recom...
