Crude glycerol (CG) is an abundantly available and cheap by-product from biodiesel production. Value-added applications for CG are highly wanted by industry and several processes such as the use of CG for enhanced oil recovery have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sulfide production of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) indigenous to oil reservoirs using CG as substrate. Th...

wettability alteration is one of the most important methods for oil recovery from sandstone andcarbonate reservoirs. the effects of salinity, ph, temperature, and chemicals such as surfactants andfatty acids on the alteration of the wettability were described in previous studies. in recent years,attention has been directed to nanoparticles as a wettability alteration agent. the effect of somena...

RESULTS Drilled four wells based on the model, successfully predicting the type and thickness of reservoir facies, enabling the operator to pursue optimal field development strategies with higher confidence in the distribution and connectivity of critical flow units. Modeling reservoir architecture with limited data After successfully developing Cretaceous reservoirs in several northern Kuwait ...

NEDO has developed MEPAS, a software for exploration of geothermal reservoir. MEPAS has bcen developed as a tool for geologists to analyze earthquakes and find fractures by comparing earthquakes with other exploration data. MEPAS consists of a seismic data processing part and a geological analysis part. The geological analysis part features 3D display, time and space distribution display, fract...
