...Experimental Procedure Instruments Wax deposition is a severe global problem during crude oil production and transportation. Paraffins are the main components that contribute to the formation of wax deposits (García 2000; Junyi et al. 2018 ; Ariza-León et al 2014 ; Hosseinipour et al...

..., current CCUS-EOR technologies usually face serious gas channeling which finally result in the poor performance on both EOR and CCUS. This study introduced CO 2 electrochemical conversion into CCUS-EOR, which successively combines CO 2 electrochemical reduction and crude oil electrocatalytic cracking...

... Abstract An improved flow assurance solution based on a new additive with robust performance, low treat rate and versatile handling properties was developed successfully. It was applied in a waxy crude oil from West Africa with high pour point and a wax content of about 24%. Crucial...

... Abstract This study aims to compare the roles of rock and crude oil in improving recovery by low salinity water injection (LSWI) and, particularly, to explore the significance of micro-dispersion formation in LSWI performance. Core samples and crude oil were taken from two carbonate reservoirs...

... in hydrogen generation from crude oils in a reactor. A maximum of 63% ultimate hydrogen content is obtained in the generated gas mixtures, while the original CO 2 content in all experiments is negligible (<1%). Catalysts can promote hydrogen generation by accelerating rate and locally enhancing microwave...

... Abstract This study investigates the role of heavy oil polar fractions in surfactant-steam flooding performance. Performance analyses were done by examination of the dipole-dipole and ion-ion interactions between polar head group of surfactants and charged polar fraction of crude oil...

... does not always increment oil recovery. It is a specific combination of properties of an asphaltenic crude oil, chemically equilibrated brine, and rock surface that may explain the success or failure of LSW. In this work, we introduce a novel experimental approach to study asphaltene-like chemical...

.... Conventional CO 2 foam (without NCF) was used as the reference throughout this work. The results indicated that the addition of NCF into CO 2 foam considerably retarded the liquid drainage and bubble coalescence, which consequently stabilized the CO 2 foam especially in the presence of crude oil. NCF-st-CO...
