After the destruction of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform during the spring of 2010, the northern Gulf of Mexico was threatened by an oil spill from the Macondo well. Emergency responders were concerned about oil transport in the nearshore, where it threatened immediately the fishing waters and coastline from Louisiana to Florida. In this region, oil movement was influenced by a continen...

Industrial oil spills into aquatic environments can have catastrophic environmental effects. First responders to oil spills along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the southern United States have used spunbond nylon fabric bags and fences to separate spilled oil and oil waste from contaminated water. Low area mass density spunbond nylon is capable of sorbing more than 16 times its mass in low ...

the most costly operation in the oil exploration is the well network drilling. one of the most effectiveways to reduce the cost of drilling networks is decreasing the number of the required wells byselecting the optimum situation of the rig placement. in this paper, balas algorithm is used as a modelfor optimizing the cost function in oil well network, where the vertical and directional drillin...

Introduction In Western Canada the application of CO2 injection for enhanced, ‘tertiary’ oil recovery is a relatively recent addition to the arsenal available to reservoir engineers. The first successful application of CO2 as a miscible fluid in Western Canada began in 1984 at Joffre Field, a Cretaceous marine siliciclastic reservoir in southern Alberta. A significant portion of the remaining p...

persian gulf and its coastal areas are the world's largest source of crude oil and related industries govern the region. one of the contaminants in this area is heavy metals associated with oil spill. more importantly, vanadium, nickel and zinc can be named in this regard. in this study, the contamination of northern coasts of persian gulf is selected to investigate for trace metals of v, ni, c...

The potential hazards and risks associated with well-stimulation in unconventional oil and gas development (hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing, and matrix acidizing) have been investigated and evaluated and federal and state regulations requiring chemical disclosure for well-stimulation have been implemented as part of an overall risk management strategy for unconventional oil and gas develo...
