since the pressure of hydrocarbon reservoirs drops due to production, in order to keep the production rate constant or increase enhanced recovery, few methods are used. one of which is gas injection to the reservoir. on the other hand, due to reduction in oil production potential of aghajari oil field, gas injection is highly required to pressurize and enhance oil recovery. there is a possibili...

enhanced oil recovery using nitrogen injection is a commonly applied method for pressuremaintenance in conventional reservoirs. numerical simulations can be practiced for the prediction ofa reservoir performance in the course of injection process; however, a detailed simulation might takeup enormous computer processing time. in such cases, a simple statistical model may be a goodapproach to the...

carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. minimum miscibility pressure (mmp) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. the miscibility condition is determine...

It has been proved that ultrasonic energy can considerably increase the amount of oil recovery in an immiscible displacement process. Although many studies have been performed on investigating the roles of ultrasonic waves, based on the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluate wave attenuation parameter, which is an important parameter in the determination of the energy...

this study investigated whether age and gender influenced blood pressure recovery after exhaustive exercise in non-athletic males and females. 60 healthy (blood pressure was especially considered) men and women with no drug and supplement consumption participated in this study and were divided into six groups: 20-30 yr (10 males), 20-30 yr (10 females), 30-40 yr (10 males), 30-40 yr (10 females...

a type of novel hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent was obtained by sulfonation and cross-linking reaction of polypropylene fiber grafted styrene-divinylbenzene. the aim of the fiber sulfonation and cross-linking method was to prepare rigid three dimensional networks in the entire fiber and change the ion exchange capacity of fiber. the hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent possesses a principally di...

The exergy analysis is a proper method for performance evaluation of industrial systems. A generic and detailed analysis of the GPCSs on the second gas pipeline of Iran  is made by the means of exergy. The two main improvement measures of fuel pre-heating and steam injection technologies are presented for the current conventional stations. Steady state equations regarding the second law of ther...

background: spinal cord injury (sci) is a major clinical condition and research is commonly done to find suitable treatment options. however, there are some degrees of spontaneous recovery after sci and gender is said to be a contributing factor in recovery, but this is controversial. this study was done to compare the effects of sexual dimorphism on spontaneous recovery after spinal cord injur...

In this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (SMBA), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (SI) data. SMBA mimics realistically the SI tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. In the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. The equal dimensions of...
