Underground injection of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a common practice in the oil and gas industry and has often been cited as a proven method of sequestering CO2 (US DOE, 1999). Of all sequestration methods, this is probably the best understood, as carbon dioxide has been used in the oil industry for many years. Additionally, most oil fields have been relatively well char...

The oil and gas industry is a data-driven business. The industry depends on information technology (IT) to increase the speed of finding oil, enhance oil production, and reduce health, safety, and environment risks that come with equipment failure or operator error. Processing large volumes of data for reservoir modeling or simulation is not new. What has changed is the availability of new tech...

Radioactive isotopes were first applied to investigate industrial problems some sixty years ago and since then, there has been a continuous expansion in their usage. The oil industry, in particular, was quick to recognise the potential usefulness of this technology and one of the earliest industrial studies in the literature is concerned with the use of radioactive material to tag the cement of...

Erosion is one of the important unlikely problems in oil refining industry that produces many damages and values to refining parts.
