Crude oil is considered as a major source of energy all over the world. Midstream refers to the various methods of transportation. Important issues that oil transportation methods face are spills and inadvertent emissions. Therefore, most of the…
Crude oil transportation has been increasingly important for chemical industry, and to enhance the flowability of crude oil, various surfactants and amphipathic polymers have been utilized to form oil-in-water emulsions. As an alternative to…
Treatment with pour point depressant (PPD) can significantly improve the cold flowability of waxy crude oil, enabling the safe and efficient transportation of waxy crude oils through pipelines. It has been observed that the electrical properties of…
Novel cement based mortars containing bottom ash (BA) and phase change material (PCM) as thermal energy storing material were developed for thermal controlling of buildings. Form-stable BA/Capric-Stearic (C-S) acid eutectic mixture composite was…
We conducted simulation experiments on supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2)-H2O-rock interactions for caprock samples obtained from the Qinshui Basin, China, to explore the influence of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection on the sealing capability of deep…
Solar thermal energy efficiency of cementitious mortar is enhanced by introducing a phase change material (PCM) with thermal energy harvesting/releasing ability. Within this framework, a new type of cement based-thermal energy storage mortar (CBTESM)…
A novel bio-based polyurethane (BPU) hydroponic foam was developed by substituting up to 100% of petroleum-derived polyol with bio-polyol derived from cost-effective organosolv fractionation of Miscanthus in an acetic acid-water (9/1, v/v) mixed…
Petroleum, popularly known as black diamond, has been the major cause of the renaissance in civilization history. Petroleum products adversely affect the environment. Concrete is a prominent construction material. Concrete finds applications in the…
Fractures play an important role in hydrocarbon storage and migration in basement buried hills. Taking the South Jinzhou oilfield (JZS oilfield) as an example, based on the data from cores, thin sections, seismic, logging, and experimental analysis,…
The research aims to study how the magnetic fields affect the cold flowability and wax deposition of the crude oil, which has been stirred by the low-intensity magnetic field for a long time. The corresponding cold flowability of crude oil can be…
Treatment with pour point depressant (PPD) can significantly improve the cold flowability of waxy crude oil, enabling the safe and efficient transportation of waxy crude oils through pipelines. It has been observed that the electrical properties of…
Production from highly paraffinic crude oil wells poses unique technical challenges such as poor flowability and paraffin deposition on the production tubing. Paraffin deposition increases the lift load on the pump, reduces pump efficiency, and…
Inhibiting natural gas hydrate (NGH) decomposition is a crucial challenge in NGH strata cementation. Lecithin can inhibit the decomposition of NGH, however, before lecithin is added to oil well cement to create a cement slurry system that inhibits…
