This paper presents a methodology to identify the interface region of petroleum by-products transportation in polyducts using an artificial neural network (ANN) in order to increase the accuracy of the purity level of the materials. The measurement…
In the lubricated pipe flow (LPF) of non-conventional oils, a water annulus acts as the lubricant. It separates the viscous oil from the pipe wall by taking a steady state position at the high shear region in the pipe. Compared to transporting the…
Variability of renewable energy sources (RES) creates great challenges for their owners and power system operator. In recent years energy storage system is employed to mitigate the fluctuation of RESs. This paper addresses optimal decision-making of…
In this study, an electronic nose coupled with artificial neural network (ANN) was used to predict the shelf life of two oil with new production date and oil with old production date over a period of 150days. According to the American Oil Chemists…
Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is a key variable for monitoring miscibility between reservoir fluid and injection gas. Experimental and non-experimental methods are used to estimate MMP. Available miscibility correlations attempt to predict the…
This research aims to propose a thermodynamic model for predicting asphaltene precipitation upon diluting a crude oil with a paraffinic solvent. To this end, a thorough mathematical formulation was carried out to derive a novel micellization model…
The laminar burning velocity of H2 and CO enriched natural gas (HyCONG) mixtures measured through spherically expanding flames method under three different fuel-air equivalence ratios (0.6, 0.8, and 1.0) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.…
Oil sludge presents a harmful but economically valuable waste. A large amount of oil sludge is produced during the processes of extraction, refining, storage, and transportation of petroleum. The contents of oil, water, and slag in the oil sludge are…
Determining the physicochemical properties of petroleum is important for rapid decision-making during the production process. True boiling point (TBP) curve is the most important parameter in the petroleum characterization. However, the TBP can be…
Brazilian presalt carbonate reservoirs are highly heterogeneous. This feature is mostly justified by the nature of the original depositional system and subsequently diagenetic processes. Consequently, reserve estimates and production forecasting are…
Reservoir permeability is a crucial parameter for reservoir characterization and the estimation of current and future production from hydrocarbon reservoirs. Permeability can be conventionally estimated from traditional approaches such as core…
In the current research, an analytical method was proposed for rapid quantitative determination of saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes (SARA) fractions of crude oil samples. Rapid assessments of SARA analysis of crude oil samples are of…
An important requirement of reservoir management is to understand the properties of reservoir fluids and dependent phase behaviors. This makes it possible to determine the properties of reservoir fluids in laboratory pressure-volume-temperature (PVT)…
Stability and compatibility can be described by the insolubility number (IN), the solubility blending number (SBN) and the ratio (R) between them, which has become a critical index in daily refineries operation. In this work, a new methodology for…
Processing natural gas, as a widely used source of energy in our life, is imperative to eliminate the impurities in order to make it consumable. So, appropriate modeling of different units in a real gas processing plant (GPP) is an essential research…
