Notwithstanding the case for oil spill, international laws of Sea regarding marine pollution are a few environmental regulations that UNCLOS and other treaties mandated to countries, companies, individuals. In this paper, analysis will be on Montara Oil Spill, how it is regulated in common practice public law, was undertaken ever since spillage occurred. The result would imply can further ratio...

In oil industry, recovery of crude oil can be improved by injecting aqueous solutions containing surfactants, polymers, and mineral ions into an oil reservoir. This process is called enhanced oil recovery. Water and oil are immiscible, separated by an interface, and their motion through a capillary tube is governed by the surface tension. However, the physics can be more complex during an enhan...

recovery factor is an important parameter in determining commercial viability of the oil reservoirs. wettability is a major factor that affects oil recovery. therefore, changing rock wettability may enhance oil recovery. in this paper, the effect of polysilicon nanoparticles on wettability change of iranian carbonate reservoir is investigated. to assess this, hydrophilic changes of carbonate ro...

in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

Bituminous sands are one of the main sources alternative energy. However, limited application this method is associated with environmental and technical problems arising from extraction oil bituminous deposits. In paper, authors propose a new environmentally friendly technology based on nanoreagents for oil. Keywords: The rock, production, method, reagent, reservoir water, washing liquid.

in the present study, the potential of a bacterial consortium of enterobacter cloacae and pseudomonas sp. (ercppi-2) for microbial enhanced oil recovery was investigated. various mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery (eor) as a result of using ercppi-2 and its metabolic products were studied in detail. the obtained results showed that under simulated reservoir conditions, interfacial tension redu...

Carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. Depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. The miscibility condition is determine...
