This thesis takes a look at what has been done before with nanoparticles in EOR, and then experimentally investigates the effect of nanoparticles on fluid properties, in particular interfacial tension and wettability. The ...

The bulk shrinkage of cement sheaths in oil wells can result in loss of long-term zonal isolation. Expansive additives are used to mitigate bulk shrinkage. To compensate effectively for bulk shrinkage during the late plastic ...

Blockfields remain enigmatic regarding their origin, internal structure, surface processes, and glaciological implications. In Scandinavia, blockfields are found on high-elevation, low-relief mountains (plateaus) across ...

We propose a new seismically based technique for estimating net exhumation magnitudes on sedimentary basin areas. The method uses traveltime measurements mapped from e.g. seismic data, or ray traced well log data, starting ...

Efficient and safe drilling operations require real-time identification and mitigation of downhole vibrations like stick-slip, which can significantly diminish performance, reliability, and efficiency. This pioneering ...

Insights into the spreading evolution of the Knipovich Ridge and development of the Fram Strait are revealed from a recent aeromagnetic survey. As an ultraslow spreading ridge in an oblique system located between the ...

The current report, with the title Nitrate pollution of the Thiaroye aquifer in the suburban parts of the Dakar Region, Senegal ? Using chemical and stable isotope analyses to identify the sources of nitrate and the processes ...

Pure mineral flotation experiments have demonstrated that quartz can be floated without a collector, in solutions containing an inorganic acid (e.g. H2SO4) and sodium fluoride (NaF). Excellent quartz recoveries, similar ...

Grid size has a significant influence on the computation efficiency and accuracy of finite-difference seismic modeling and can change the workload of reverse time migration (RTM) remarkably. This paper proposes a non-orthogonal ...
