Big data analytics (BDA) is a maturing technology that is gaining momentum in the upstream oil and gas industry. The practice centers on aggregating all data from different sources into a "data lake" or equivalent storage for analytics and reporting.…
Big Data Analytics has steadily gained momentum in the upstream E&P industry. Much of the attention has been on advancing data-driven methods including empirical statistical and stochastic approaches, and especially artificial neural networks (ANN).…

The construction of systems supporting spatial data has experienced great enthusiasm in the past, due to the richness of this type of data and their semantics, which can be used in the decision-making process in various fields. Thus, the problem of…
Ion storage structure widely exists in organisms, which is used to harvesting energy in environment and converting it into ion concentration gradient to maintain complex life activities. The construction of ion storage structures relies on isolating…
Oligocene deep syn-rift lakes in the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam, represent exceptional paleoenvironmental archives, but their use for unravelling the regional paleoclimatic development has been hindered by poor dating. Here we present a high-resolution…
The present study demonstrates a promising approach for production of bio-crude oil via hydrothermal liquefaction of microbial biomass grown in large-scale open raceway pond. Three key attributes to achieve process feasibility are co-cultivation of…
This paper studies experimentally the burning behavior of crude karanja oil pool fires in free burning. Experiments were conducted in pool size from 0.2 to 0.5 m. Various parameters such as mass loss rate, flame height, centerline temperature, and…
The reactivity-promoting effect of trace nitrogen oxides (NOx) on post-induction oxidation of a synthetic natural gas (2% ethane in methane) has been experimentally studied in a high-pressure laminar flow reactor (HPLFR) at 10 0.1 atm, nominal…
The Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD) receives a mixture of hydrocarbons from biogenic, pyrogenic, and petrogenic processes. Source apportionment in the PAD has focussed on polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), which are ubiquitous in the environment and…
We developed an innovative tool to support the simulation of gas dispersion from liquefied natural gas pools in presence of obstacles. For the first time, the systematic evaluation of the influence of atmospheric stability conditions and the…
Summary form only given. Recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) has become more and more economically attractive as a number of components in natural gas are often separated from the bulk gas and sold separately. There are numerous process…
The indigenous hydrocarbons in samples of zooplankton, shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) and sediment are extracted by refluxing with a series of organic solvents fractionated by column chromatography and then resolved by high resolution gas chromatography.…
AEC Pipelines has expanded the capacity of its bitumen blend Cold Lake pipeline from 130000 barrels/day (bpd) to 185000 bpd by the installation of a new midpoint booster pump station utilizing a 3500 HP adjustable speed drive. The unit is a variable…
The installation and use of a 3500 HP adjustable-speed drive on a crude-oil/natural-gas pipeline is described. The unit presented is a variable-frequency induction motor drive using gate turn-off thyristors. It increased the capacity of the pipeline…
