The potential hazards and risks associated with well-stimulation in unconventional oil and gas development (hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing, and matrix acidizing) have been investigated and evaluated and federal and state regulations requiring chemical disclosure for well-stimulation have been implemented as part of an overall risk management strategy for unconventional oil and gas develo...

Recycle-gas injection is a promising recovery process to produce oil and gas. The method uses continues injection of the produced gas at economical rates to keep the reservoirs energy up and using viscous force as the driving force. There are numerous studies done on recycle-gas injection in conventional reservoirs, however, there are some other factors such as location of wells and completion ...

background & aim: drought stress, as a main abiotic stress, has a significant influence on growth and metabolic activities of plant species. in this study, the influence of reduced irrigation on dry herbage, essential oil yield, and chemical components of two thyme species were investigated. experimental: this study was done in an experimental greenhouse, i.a.u., shahrekord branch, iran at...

buy-back contracts in the upstream oil and gas projects of iran, has experienced the third generation of this kind of contracts since its inception on 1373 (1994) when the oil and gas industry of iran opend its petroleum market to the foreign investment. these contracts have since been subject to the various critieques raised by international oil companies, foreign investors, or petroleum exper...

As an essential resource in the process of national economic development, oil and gas has a very important strategic position. non-renewable resource, various countries regions attach great importance to development use resources. Generally, resources are buried deep underground most critical geological exploration. Reservoir is work, involves lot professional content, if not reasonable, there ...

■ Fully automatic operation From the world’s first commercial CO2 membrane plant for CO2 recovery in EOR applications (Scurry Area Canyon Reef Operators [SACROC] oil field) to the world’s largest CO2 membrane plant for natural gas cleanup (1.28 Bcf/d, Cakerawala Gas Field Development—Petronas Carigali Hess Operating Company), Schlumberger continues to lead the industry with state-of-the-art CYN...

In this work we investigated the behavior of methane hydrates dispersed in crude oils from different fields at temperatures below 0°C. In case of crude oil emulsion the size of water droplets is in the range of 50÷100μm. The size of hydrate particles formed from droplets is the same. The self-preservation is not expected in this field. However, the self-preservation of hydrates with the size of...

The energy demand in our modern society is continuously rising, which clearly shows that fossil fuels will for many decades still play an important role – oil and natural gas are important energy resources in this picture. Nevertheless, oil and natural gas reserves are limited, and it is therefore a prioritized task to produce more oil and gas from existing wells and reservoirs for better explo...
