gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. they are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, churn an...

Abstract A regional 2D conceptual model was constructed to study the hydrocarbon systems associated with Middle Sarvak source rock (Cenomanian) in southeastern Persian Gulf basin. The cross section used for this purpose 135 km long and encompassed a total of 17 depositional units Late Jurassic Surmeh Formation at base Aghajari/Mishan sequences top. Compositional type II-S kinetics considered ro...

The purpose of this study was to propose a conceptual model for technology transfer (TT) that houses several factors. These factors are believed to influence the processes’ effectiveness and guide the TT performance. In addition, this study aimed to explore TT performance and the relationship between TT government support, infrastructure, TT environment, and TT learning capability. Oil producti...

Heavy organics deposition is a common problem in oil industry, especially in oil production, transportation and processing. Wax or solid paraffin series are examples of heavy organics that deposit. Precipitation and crystallization of wax causes major difficulties in different processes. Based on multi-solid theory, a basic model is modified in this paper for wax precipitation in different oils...

In this article, modeling and optimization of power consumption of two–stage compressed air system has been investigated. To do so, the two – stage compressed air cycle with intercooler of FAJR Petroleum Company was considered. This cycle includes two centrifugal compressors, a shell, and a tube intercooler. For modeling of power consumption, actual compressors isentropic efficiencies and inter...
