The simulations consider a nonlinear pipeline model based on the non-isothermal flow and non-deal gas behavior. The proposed NGN-oriented MPC strategy uses an adaptive scheme that relies upon the successive linearization of the nonlinear NGN model and the surge prevention constraints of the compression stations, incorporated into the control law to avoid unsafe operating conditions. The controller has the guarantee of feasibility by incorporating a suitable set of slack variables into its formulation, mainly in the surge avoidance constraints. At the same time, the resulting control law is more flexible by adopting output zone tracking cases rather than setpoint tracking. The simulated study, aiming at minimizing the power consumption of the centrifugal compressors, sought to control the pressures in the consumer nodes of NGN into a predefined zone while meeting the process constraints. In all scenarios of zone changes, the controller could lead the controlled outputs in their respective zones, accommodating the operation in steady states with a minimal power consumption of three compression stations considered in NGN. By respecting the surge prevention constraints flexibly, and using the slack variables when necessary, immediately after perturbation, the proposed NGN-oriented adaptive zone MPC controller has proved to be a suitable tool to manage the NGN with control performance, operational safe and economic competitivity.","PeriodicalId":282073,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125548859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Investigating the Performance of Co [AM-AMPS-MALEIC-AAC]/ PEI-MBA Nanocomposite Hydrogel in Sand Control from Oil Reservoirs","authors":"Baghban Salehi M","doi":"10.23880/ppej-16000347","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/ppej-16000347","url":null,"abstract":"Sand production is one of the major challenges in oil and gas production from sandstone reservoirs. Production losses, formation damage, corrosion, and equipment failure are all consequences of sand production. Various mechanical and chemical methods are used to control sand production. One of the most efficient chemical methods is the injection of hydrogels, but its application has been constrained by the hydrogels' weak stability in the harsh conditions of the reservoir. A Co [AMAMPS-MALEIC-AAC]/PEI-MBA nanocomposite hydrogel with superior viscoelastic properties and double crosslinking was developed and synthesized to overcome these restrictions. Swelling, rheology, and morphology tests were utilized to predict the produced nanocomposite's effectiveness and performance in the harsh Iranian reservoirs. According to the obtained results, at ambient temperature (25°C, during injection) and reservoir temperature (90°C, placed in a porous medium), in distilled water, the maximum swelling ratio was 8.5 and 94, and in formation water, the maximum swelling ratio was 5.4 and 10.8, respectively. The X-ray diffraction test findings show that the nanoparticles are uniformly distributed throughout the structure. Also, according to the results of the thermal strength test, the sample’s thermal stability up to 90°C was confirmed with less than 0.6 wt% degradation. The results of the strain sweep, frequency sweep and stress-strain tests demonstrate the existence of a robust, three-dimensional, and viscoelastic structure up to a strain of 100% and a frequency of 100 Hz. In the strain sweep test with a constant frequency of 1 Hz, the maximum storage modulus was reported as 27,000 Pa, and in the frequency sweep test with a constant strain of 1%, 18,000 Pascals were reported. The stress-strain test revealed that the ultimate tensile strength of the synthesized material was 4630 pascals. These characteristics make the aforementioned nanocomposite hydrogel ideal for usage in porous media.","PeriodicalId":282073,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134139964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Richterites near the lithosphere base trace both low –and high temperature convective branches. The amphiboles reveal divisions into 9 chemical groups. The melts coexistion with amphiboles has concave patters typical for subduction related melts. LP varieties reveal Eu inflection U, Rb, Ba, Sr peaks and deep troughs in HFSE (except Zr), Pb. The pargasites show high U peaks and relativle less HFSE depressions. Encreasing in pressure for edinites, kataforites and richterise are accompanied byrise in U and Zr peak gentling of depressions in Th, Sr, Nb and Hf and less in Nb,Ta, Hf and peak in Zr and also decrease in LREE and REE. Clinopyroxenes and garnets show variable trace element patterns and divisions in groups with the plume and subduction signatures. The contrasting behaviour of Ta and Nb is regulated by the rutile partition coefficients likely for primary eclogites. A subduction and Na and K (siliceous) type of fluids percolated through the mantle with abundant eclogites possibly was accompanied by amphibolization at the different levels through all the mantle column. The plume melts produced hybridism with the mantle metasomatic assembleges which created smoother trace element patterns in reacted minerals, clinopyroxene.

(DOI: 10.23880/ppej16000330) is targeted at reducing 80 per cent CO2 emissions from the internal combustion engines by upgrading from the conventional crude oil refinery products to the synthetic fuels products (ultra-low-carbon fuels). This paper will focus on the complete elimination of the remaining 20 per cent CO2 emissions (i.e. to achieve zero- CO2 emissions) in transportation and power generating internal combustion engines as well as in the other centralized emissions/emitters such as petroleum industry flare lines, industrial process and big technology industries scrubber flue gas, et cetera. This invention stems from similar biblical quote {Isaiah 6:8-New International Version (NIV)} which states, and then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I (Isaiah) said, “Here am I. Send me!” Laterally, in this case I (Azunna) said, “Here am I. Please use me”. Hence the aftermath, IJN-Universal Emissions Liquefiers is a plug and play units for all categories of pollutants discharge into the atmosphere. The work is motivated by the scientific facts that (i) The release of CO2 from automotive exhaust effluents, industry vents and flue gas emissions into the atmosphere contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) accumulation causing global warming hence climate changes issues such as flooding of coastlines/sea-rising, melting of the glaciers, disrupted weather patterns, bushburning/wildfire, depletion of Ozone layer, smog and air pollution, acidification of water bodies, runaway greenhouse effect, etc. (ii) Every gas stream (e.g., flue gas) can be made liquid by e.g. a series of compression, cooling and expansion steps and once in liquid form, the components of the gas can be separated in a distillation column. (iii) Captured liquefied gases can be put to various uses, especially carbon dioxide (CO2 ), which can be used for the production of renewable energy via Synfuels such as the e-fuel/solar fuel. The natural atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and only about 0.1% natural greenhouse gases, which include carbon dioxide, organic chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and many others. Although a small amount, these greenhouse gases make a big difference - they are the gases that allow the greenhouse effect to exist by trapping in some heat that would otherwise escape to space. Carbon dioxide, although not the most potent of the greenhouse gases, is the most important because of the huge volumes emitted into the air by combustion of fossil fuels (e.g., gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, coal, natural gas). In general, the major contributors to the greenhouse effect are: Burning of fossil fuels in automobiles, deforestation, farming processi","PeriodicalId":282073,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128617135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, biodiesel serves as a renewable and comparatively clean alternative to fossil fuels because it is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, sustainable, biodegradable, and made from renewable sources like animal fats or edible/inedible oils. Additionally, it requires minimal modification to be used with the current fuel infrastructure when blended with petrodiesel. Animal fat or oil is (trans)esterified with a catalyst to produce biodiesel. Due to their improved adherence to the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, solid catalysts are currently surpassing homogeneous catalysts. Besides, bifunctional solid catalysts are more highly desired than their monofunctionalized analogues because they can enhance product selectivity and make it easier for coordinated, one-pot processes to convert nonedible oils to biodiesel. The objective of this mini- review is to evaluate the developments in bio-waste-derived bifunctional catalysts for the synthesis of biodiesel from non-edible oils between 2019 to the present.","PeriodicalId":282073,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128808716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The essential mechanical qualities of rock materials that are necessary for the analysis and design of rock digging operations are determined by their elastic properties (Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio). Geomechanical applications rely on acoustic data to create a safe mud weight window, estimate rock strength parameters, sand management, and hydraulic fracturing. Ultrasonic lab and sonic log readings are often inconsistent because of the frequency differential and other considerations. Ultrasonic laboratory measurements and acoustic logs of shear wave velocity and compressional wave velocity for the Mishrif formation in the West Qurna-1 oil field are compared in this work to better understand how these critical measurements influence on the accuracy of calculating dynamic model. compressional (Vp) and shear (VS) wave velocities and density data were used to compute the porosity as well as elastic modulus. We observed a correlation between P wave velocity and sample elastic characteristics. Vp and elastic characteristics were correlated using regression analysis to generate empirical equations. Correlations between velocity data and the geological background of the region yielded excellent estimates of elastic characteristics. The results showed that there is a good agreement between Young's coefficient from the laboratory and the obtained log data, where the R2 value is 0.86.

When combined with underbalanced drilling using a coiled tubing rig, FbD enhances the production further by easing the natural flow of the hydrocarbon from the reservoir to the wellbore. The design aspects of the Fishbones include determining the number, length, distance between the branches, and the angle of sidetracking of the branches from the main borehole.

An emerging alternative for solving this problem is the use of nanofluids to mitigate fines migration. Due to their physicochemical properties, the mesoporous nanoparticles present in nanofluids interact with fines in the well, diminishing their mobility without an important decrease in permeability. In this work, the effect of a nanofluid composed of biogenic SiO2 mesoporous nanoparticles on fines migration control was studied. A biogenic mesoporous nanosilica was synthesized from rice husks and dispersed in a fluid composed of a mixture of diesel and xylene. Laboratory core-flooding experiments with crude oil were performed. The compositions of the crude oil and the collected material were measured to determine the changes in the crude oil after it interacted with the nanofluid. Fines production was significantly reduced by the use of the nanofluid. The results showed that 0.4% SiO2 nanoparticle fluid decreased fines migration by up to 60% with a small variation in permeability. The results of the GPC-ICP-HRMS analysis of the crude oil after treatment showed that the nanoparticles adsorbed a fraction of the asphaltenes in the crude oil and served as nucleation centers for the agglomeration of fines, forming larger structures with high porosity and allowing the fines to be retained in the core with a low decrease in permeability.","PeriodicalId":282073,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126373196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
