... of deposition due to various factors. In the present paper the mechanism of organic deposition is modeled based on statistical mechanics of polydisperse polymer solutions joined with the kinetic theory of aggregation and its predictive capability is discussed. Utilization of statistical mechanics...

... treating vessels are designed to provide time and space for phase separation to occur. Although centrifugal forces are sometimes applied in cyclone separators. gravity settling is the most common mechanism. The settling velocity V for a spherical water drop of diameter d, density Pw and viscosity /lw...

... Temperature Oxidation (LTO) and Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) areas were identified during these tests. The proposed interpretation is based on an analogy with the reaction mechanisms occurring during light saturated hydrocarbon oxidation. The determination of kinetics parameters for oxidation...

... Abstract Laboratory testing of core material to attempt to optimize drilling fluid composition and procedures has been used for many years to attempt to minimize invasive formation damage of a mechanical, chemical or biological nature which can occur during the drilling of horizontal...

... naturally fractured oil reservoirs. The mechanism involved in enhancing me gravity drainage process in the invaded zone, the lowering of the gas oil contact level, maintaining the oil pressure and allowing the gas cap pressure to rise to its' original level. carbonate oil reservoir giant...

... results and the cavity stability criterion. the possible mechanisms for cavity growth under field conditions are evaluated. Introduction The primary production of heavy oil is emerging as a viable recovery technique. This method involves the solution gas drive mechanism and sand coproduction...

.... there is a certain unpredictability about the process of sand exclusion due to the inability of fully describing the mechanisms and the properties of gravel-sand fluids system and of relating properties and mechanisms to the performance of materials. So far, there is not much known about the reliability of gravel...

... used in the past appear to be inadequate in the face of growing recognition of the complexity of the mechanisms involved. Although there has been extensive laboratory study of most aspects of in situ combustion, there remain several areas which are poorly understood. The objective of this paper...

... channeling and early carbon dioxide breakthrough. Both laboratory and field studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of the immiscible carbon dioxide process. Laboratory studies are used to determine and optimize the recovery process mechanisms. Field studies, both pilot and conventional...

... Abstract Both inert and reactive Tracers have been used to further the understanding ofthermal recovery applied to heavy oils and bitumen. They can be used to gain anunderstanding of process conformance. recovery mechanisms or even reservoirheterogeneities. Tracers are commonly transported...

... Abstract Primarily as a result of low temperature oxidation (LTG) reactions, the utilization of air as a steam additive results in an increase in the rate at which oil is recovered. The individual mechanisms of the steam-air injection process are complicated and difficult to isolate...

... Abstract The Neil burg McLaren reservoir zone consists of tabular Lower and Upper McLaren Sands separated by a thin coal. The two sandstone reservoirs do not aggregate more than 7m in thickness. The main trapping mechanism for the Lower Sand is formed by erosional channels filled by shaly...
