Geologic reservoirs containing gas hydrate occur beneath permafrost environments and within marine continental slope sediments, representing a potentially vast natural gas source. Numerical simulators provide scientists and engineers with tools for…
Theoretically, misalignment between the magnetic field and rotational axis in a dense core is considered to be dynamically important in the star formation process, however, extent of this influence remains observationally unclear. For a sample of 32…
The key success indicator for time-lapse seismic begins at the acquisition stage in the aspect of positional repeatability of seismic sources and receivers. To achieve this, the first step in the survey planning is to understand the Base survey…
In this study, the infrared spectrum (4000–400 cm−1) was applied to identify and classify the different alkanes based on carbon chain length (Cn). It was found there were two bands coherent to the doublet at location 2954 and 2872 cm−1, respectively…
Project managements of oil and gas industry involves development of robust system that is able to integrate many skill professionals to work smoothly and together in the said project fields. This process is challenged by the ground reality as project…
In the last 30 yr, basin and petroleum system modeling (BPSM) has evolved into a large and diverse field encompassing a broad range of scientific disciplines. As BPSM is applied to an increasingly wide range of problems, what are, or should be, the…
The objective of this paper is to showcase the applications of augmented reality and 3D visualization to enhance the learning process of petroleum engineering concepts. In this study, an educational magazine covering various components of an offshore…
The development of the Culzean field used a High-Density Ocean Bottom Cable (HDOBC) survey acquired in 2010/2011 as the base dataset for reservoir modelling, reserve estimation and development planning. The survey was acquired to overcome…
Large crude oil tanks may face huge risk during operation due to the effect of dangerous and harmful factors. The leakage and fire accidents of tanks are easy to happen which causes serious environmental pollution and even casualties. In order to…
The practical application of petroleum principles is the key to optimum petroleum engineering education. Although some of these skills are required and often emphasized by accreditation bodies, mastering them requires vision, planning, and allocation…
Historically, both regulatory and contractual constraints have inhibited the overall optimization of natural gas transmission systems. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) currently supplies gas either as source of fuel or as feedstock…
According to a survey of corrosion releases in hazardous liquids pipelines, of the 52 internal corrosion releases reported in 2009-2012, 31 occurred in intermittently operated lines. Pigging operations cannot be performed in many of these pipelines…
