Microscopic oil displacement of water flooding and sweep efficiency of continuous gas injection could be improved by water alternating gas (WAG) injection. The WAG injection process aims to squeeze more oil out of the reservoirs; in this method, water and gas are alternatively injected into the reservoir. Also, availability of hydrocarbon or CO2 gases in the field makes it attractive for gas-ba...

resistance of microencapsulated fish oil (mfo) in the rumen and its effects on fermentability of nutrients in the rumen was studied in 3 experiments. the key parameter in these studies was the amount of oil released from the microcapsules and their effects on gas production and rumen degradability in comparison with unprotected fish oil (fo). in the first experiment the effect of rumen and abom...

Abstract I n this paper we investigated total energy consumption and its individual forms (oil, natural gas, electricity, renewable energies and coal) relationship with real gross domestic product (GDP) in Iran. We employed Hsiao’s (1981) methodology and annual data which cover 1967-2010 for investigation. The empirical findings indicate there is bidirectional causality ef...

introduction exposure to chronic levels of ionizing radiation could be detrimental to health even at very low doses. calabar free trade zone (cftz) was established to promote export business in nigeria and it is yet to produce exposure data of the zone. materials and methods the zone was divided into three categories depending on the type of business. category a had facilities with manufacturin...

We investigate the effect of different saturation histories relevant to various oil displacement processes (including secondary and tertiary gas injections) on three-phase gas/oil/brine relative permeabilities of water-wet sandstone. It is found that three-phase water (wetting phase) relative permeability is primarily a function of water saturation and shows no dependency upon saturation histor...

BACKGROUND Higher risk of exposure to environmental health hazards near oil and gas wells has spurred interest in quantifying populations that live in proximity to oil and gas development. The available studies on this topic lack consistent methodology and ignore aspects of oil and gas development of value to public health-relevant assessment and decision-making. OBJECTIVES We aim to present ...
