The onshore Cretaceous Zululand Basin of South Africa was investigated for CO2 storage potential using NZA, ZA, ZB, and ZC boreholes drilled by Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa in the 1960s for hydrocarbon exploration. Basin fill…
In this work, NiFe nanocatalysts with different molar ratios 1:0.33, 1:1 and 1:3 were synthesized by a modified inverse microemulsion method at Soft Chemistry conditions in order to apply them to heavy crude oil (HCO) in situ hydroprocessing and to…
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) well logging tools are being commercially utilized for the characterization of various fluids confined within reservoir rocks. Conventional NMR T2-distribution measurements are unable to quantify the actual fractions…
The role of natural attenuation processes in groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons is of intense scientific and practical interest. This study provides insight into the biodegradation effects in groundwater at a site contaminated by…
