Shale formations are troublesome according to their water sensitivity characteristic, low Nano-Darcy permeability with small nanometer-sized pore throats that are not effectively sealed by the solids in conventional drilling fluids. Water invasion into the shale formations causes different problems in the drilling industry. Nanoparticle additives have the potential to be used in drilling operations due to their large surface area and lower kinetic energy than micro-additives. The test results demonstrate that multi-wall carbon nanotube improves the rheological properties of the WaterBased Mud drilling fluid. Acidic-surface modified carbon nanotube in the presence of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) increases the plastic viscosity and yield point of the sample more than unmodified carbon nanotube and hybrid multiwall carbon nanotube. Test results show that multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) improve shale stability and shale recovery, finally leading to more well-bore stability in shale formations.","PeriodicalId":355186,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum and Chemical Industry International","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128440890","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}

It also reduces energy consumption for obtaining desired thermal comfort. In the present study, TRNSYS simulation studio project has been developed to perform the simulations of the desiccant dehumidifier coupled HVAC system for different configurations in summer cooling season. Measurements are also carried out to observe the influence of operating parameters on system performance.

Modeled porosity showed high porosity in J100 and the central part of K100 reservoir. While, low porosity/; is recorded in L100. Water saturation ranges from 20 to 90% in the J100 reservoir, the lowest water saturation value was at the NE, NW and central part of the reservoir.

On one hand, Energy requirement in our country is increasing in a very rapid rate. On the other hand due to this, the available Energy resources are depleting very fast. So, conservation and efficient utilization of energy resources is the first and most important step towards narrowing down this gap. The need of the hour is to utilize the available energy resources efficiently, wisely & judiciously and at the same time minimize the wastage and unnecessary utilization of the resources. We need to discover the hidden and untapped areas which have good potential of energy and thus reduce the rate of consumption of available non-renewable sources and fossil fuels. The other very important and undeniable fact of the today’s world is that the rate of emission of Greenhouse gases is increasing day-by-day leading to Global Warming and various undesirable changes in the environment we are living in today. If we do not take necessary corrective actions today then it would be too late for tomorrow and our Future generation would suffer Keeping in view the importance of the future generation and with an objective of Energy conservation and to reduce some part of the Global Warming by reduction in harmful Green-house gas emission; an innovative and novel concept was devised in our Numaligarh Refinery Plant (NRL) in it’s post expansion scenario.","PeriodicalId":355186,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum and Chemical Industry International","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125736058","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}

Based on the CF pollution index, the elements of Cd and Sb with the values of 1.52 and 2 show the moderate contamination. Enrichment factor (EF) revealed moderate contamination for Cs (2.46), Ga (3.86), Rb (2) and Ti (2.35). This index showed the high pollution and anthropogenic origin for Ti (8), Cd (10.41), U (11.26) and Sb (13.43). The results of the correlation between the elements indicated the presence of positive and significant correlation between Cs, Hf, La, Nb, Nd, Rb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, Tl, W, Y, Yb, and Zr. There was no positive and significant correlation between U and none of the elements. Three elements of Sb, U, and Cd showed a negative correlation with most of the studied elements.
