Castor oil, produced from castor beans, has long been considered to be of important commercial value primarily for the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, and coatings, among others. Global castor oil production is concentrated primarily in a small geographic region of Gujarat in Western India. This region is favorable due to its labor-intensive cultivation method and subtropical climate condit...

This paper considers an approach to design a fuzzy logic controller to detect incipient abnormal production of wells in a reservoir. The daily operation of an oil and gas production system requires many decisions, which may affect the volumes of oil produced and the cost of production oil. These decisions are taken at different levels in the organization, but eventually they will reach the phys...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of foliar salicylic acid (sa) and citric acid (ca) applications on growth, biochemical characteristics and essential oil content of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) grown under field conditions. salicylic acid (0.5 and 1 mm) and citric acid (5 and 10 mm) were applied three times during the vegetation at 15 day intervals. results revealed that foliar ap...

Oil cakes have been in use for feed applications to poultry, fish and swine industry. Being rich in protein, some of these have also been considered ideal for food supplementation. However, with increasing emphasis on cost reduction of industrial processes and value addition to agro-industrial residues, oil cakes could be ideal source of proteinaceous nutrients and as support matrix for various...

This paper develops and simulates a dynamic general equilibrium macroeconomic model to analyze the likely impact of oil production and revenue rehabilitation on the Libyan economy, under different government fiscal policy responses. The model is ideally appropriate to analyze macroeconomic issues in oil-producing developing countries. In particular, it is capable of incorporating alternative go...

The main objective in oil production system using gas lift technique is to obtain the optimum gas injection rate which yields the maximum oil production rate. Relationship between gas injection rate and oil production rate is described by a continuous gas lift performance curve (GLPC). Obtaining the optimum gas injection rate is important because excessive gas injection will reduce production r...
