Sarvak Formation as the oil reservoir with the most hydrocarbon potential in Yaran oil field is of special importance. The present research was conducted to study the reservoir parameters of this Formation. For this purpose, petro-physical crude data was first prepared and using the Geolog6.7 software, a petro physical plot was drawn. Afterward, petro-physical properties of reservoir were done ...

The present development of a basic science, including physics of stimulated emission of light, opens up new diagnostic possibilities in relation to the quality of oils, including marine fuels and lubricants. In complicated chemical composition of oils both light absorbing compounds and compounds that emit light (fluorescent) are included. This causes the formation of complex structures in the s...

Polymer relies on its special properties, which is an effective means to enhance oil recovery. But the composition of its produced liquid is very complex, especially emulsifying phenomenon severely constrains the process oil-water separation at a later stage. At present technical means of demulsification taken by both home and abroad oilfield mainly include physics, chemistry and other methods....

A network model that investigates electrical resistivity and capillary pressure curves of oil/water/rock systems for a full̄ooded cycle (primary drainage, imbibition and secondary drainage) is presented. This model uses a realistic pore geometry in the form of a grain boundary pore (GBP) shape and pore constrictions. The model also incorporates pore-scale displacement mechanisms and pore-scale w...

2014 We first deduce the rigidity coefficient K of a surfactant monolayer at the oil water interface from ellipsometric measurements. For our surfactant monolayer containing alcohol, we find unusually small values of K (K ~ kB T). We then study the oil microemulsion and water microemulsion interfaces, covered with the same film. On the microemulsion side of the film we find a perturbed zone, th...

Written by a group of international experts in their field, this Theme Issue provides an overview of the recent advances made by the fluid mechanics community dedicated to offshore engineering, with a specific focus into modelling issues. Although of great importance we have purposely neglected all applications related to ‘emerging offshore engineering’ concerned with renewable energy extractio...
