Purpose: : The presence of thermal energy storage devices in concentrated solar power plants is advantageous for controlling power and energy demand. The capacity of materials used in total thermal energy storage is thought to improve their…
Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants have been widely commercialized for generating electricity from solar energy. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems have been deployed as a key component in CSP plants for resolving the supply-demand gap during…
In this study, a comparative study of polymeric (Xanthan Gum, XG and polyacrylamide, PAM) clay nanofluids has been explored for increasing CO2 retention and storage efficacy in a synthesized porous media prepared using sand grains of uniform size…
Underground hydrogen (H2) storage (UHS) and carbon dioxide (CO2) geo-storage (CGS) are prominent methods of meeting global energy needs and enabling a low-carbon global economy. The pore-scale distribution, reservoir-scale storage capacity, and…
This work analyzed of crude oil based nanofluid of Al 2 O 3, Cu, SWCNTs (single walled carbon nanotubes) the mass transfer in two dimensional MHD of incompressible steady, viscous and electrically conducting in the presence of magnetic field over a…
In H2, CO2 and natural gas geo-storage, rock-fluid interfacial tension (rockfluid) is a key parameter which influences pore-scale fluid distribution and reservoir-scale gas storage capacity and containment security. However, rockfluid data is…
One of the important challenges in city gate gas pressure reduction stations is the heating of the natural gas prior to pressure reduction. Regarding the low efficiency of the common water bath heaters in these stations another type of double…
Engineered nanofluids were designed to reduce oil viscosity and to restore wettability in heavy oil formations (Zabala et al. 2016). Incremental production rates, between 50% and 150%, were registered after injecting the nanofluids in 4 wells in two…
The main objective of this study is to develop nanotechnology-based materials, specifically carbon quantum dots (CQDs), as alternative nonpolluting, nontoxic, and easily manipulated tracers for the oil industry using an easy and rapid synthesis from…
Any efficient exploitation of new petroleum reservoirs necessitates developing methods to mobilize the crude oils from such reservoirs. Here silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) were used to improve the efficiency of the chemical-enhanced oil…
During the early 21st century, nanotechnology has stood strong in the oil and gas industry, with many applications that have gone from laboratory and numerical simulation studies to successful trial applications in the field. In this Review, recent…
An emulsion may be classified as a colloidal system depending on the scale analyzed. State parameters (e.g.temperature, volume fraction and osmotic pressure) determine whether the system is regarded as in a liquid-like, liquid/solid-like or…
As reserves of conventional light oil become depleted, recovery of viscous oil is urgently needed to meet increasing energy demands worldwide before clean energy sources are fully developed. Current oil extraction technologies suffer from low…
Heavy oil (HO) production and transportation has been one of the major concerns for the oil and gas industry in recent years. In this sense, nanotechnology has raised as a promising solution for enhancing heavy oil mobility at surface and subsurface…
The Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor used for distinguishing the oil movement offers detailed insights about the reservoir oil and is the key to quantifying the impact on improvement and the integrity and efficiency of the wells. The modified FBG…
