Fluid velocity has the potential to cause severe erosion damage to oil & gas production infrastructure. In order to avoid or alleviate damage due to erosion, the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice (API RP) 14E recommends a threshold fluid velocity for production tubing and pipelines. However, field and laboratory data have proven that the applied empirical constants, known as C-f...

The required steam for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil sands operations is generated using a once-through generator (OTSG) that fed with relatively poor quality process water. Industries have reported possible solid particle erosion-related failure in the OTSG boiler tubes because of transport precipitated dense inorganic particles. However, presence other damage mechanisms, e.g. cor...

We have recently described a di-hydroxylated compound called protectin DX (PDX) which derives from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by double lipoxygenation. PDX exhibits anti-aggregatory and anti-inflammatory properties, that are also exhibited by similar molecules, called poxytrins, which possess the same E,Z,E conjugated triene geometry, and are synthesized from other polyunsaturated fatty acids w...

Subsea structures are typically supported on mud mat type foundation systems. Traditional approaches for mud mat foundation stability analysis consider calculating the factors of safety using the classical methods given in API RP 2A or the more recent API RP 2GEO. Due to the inherent uncertainties in soil properties and subsea structure forces, conservative factors are generally required, conse...

Objective: This method is focused on developing a precisely simplified and more accurate Reverse Phase–High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) for the determination of Dapagliflozin in bulk pharmaceutical dosage form as per guidelines International Council Harmonization (ICH). Methods: Evaluation validation carried out using RP-HPLC ZORBAX (C18) column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) w...
