With the demand for lower carbon emissions and the increasing use of clean energy instead of traditional fossil fuels, offshore production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become a major mode of energy transportation and storage. Due to its…
Emulsions of water-in-oil (W/O) is a very common occurrence in the oil and gas industries. The viscosity and rheological properties of the emulsions are of great interest to the petroleum industry, especially during oil exploitation and…
The viscoelastic characteristics of unstable heavy crude-oil-water dispersed mixtures are investigated to improve pipeline transportation. The effects of temperature, dispersed phase volume fraction, and droplet size distribution are considered on…
Shale samples of lacustrine Shahejie Formation from the Well F39X1 drilled in Qikou sag were used to study microstructures, mineralogy, and organic geochemistry and their impacts on oil storage response. Samples are quartz and clay rich and contain a…
The effective density and mixing state of particles emitted from a natural gasdiesel dual fuel engine are investigated. Measurements were conducted at three different fuel compositions including 100% diesel fuel (0% NG), 75% diesel25% natural gas…
Injection of CO2 into shale reservoirs to enhance gas recovery and simultaneously sequester greenhouse gases is a potential contributor towards the carbon-neutral target. It offers a low-carbon, low-cost, low-waste and large-scale solution during the…
