Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong Term Ageing Effect on Physical and Shear Strength Characteristics of Oil Contaminated Sandy Soils of Al-Ahmadi Field in KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Al-OtaibiSerious environmental damage was caused to Kuwait when more than 600 oil wells were set alight following the 1991 Gulf War, leading to hydrocarbon contamination and a series of ‘oil lakes’ being created in the desert. The effects of these highly damaging actions are still detectable today, 27 years later. The main contribution of this paper is that the effects … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2019 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFuel Crisis vis-à-vis Green FuelSusmita KamilaThe real sense of crisis often leads to bring some changes for betterment of society. We are in an age, where every day we are facing the crisis of energy. Decisions on current energy as well as fuel crisis in right direction can bring about a better, more sustainable future for our planet.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntileishmanial and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oils of Medicinal Plant Achillea santolina L.Abdulkarim Dakah, Mohammed MaarroufAchillea santolina is medicinal plant widely used in folk medicine for gastrointestinal disorders, anti-inflammatory and anti-diuretic. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 350 million people are considered to be at risk of contracting leishmaniasis especially among people living in the developing countries. This research will be the first time that evaluate antileishmanial activity of essential oils of A. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2019 · 9,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Efficient Thermal Conversion Technologies and HHV from Compositional Characteristics of Cassava Peelings, Plantain Peelings and Corn CobsSamomssa Inna, Oumarou Amadou Amadou, Jiokap Nono Yvette et al.The understanding of compositional characteristics permits to predict the efficient thermal conversion technologies and Higher Heating Value (HHV). Although HHV can be determined directly, many models have been proposed for HHV prediction. They are based on proximate, ultimate, and structural analysis and require much data collected. The present work assesses to predict efficient thermal conversion technologies and HHV of the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2022 · 10,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrain Size Distribution Characteristics Variation in Oily Contaminated Sandy Soils Due to Long Term Aging Effect in Al-Ahmadi Field at KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Alotaibi, Farraj F. Al-ajmiAlmost three decades on, the negative environmental impacts arising from the burning of over 600 oil wells in Kuwait following the 1991 Gulf War are still evident. At the time of the incident, the Kuwaiti desert region became polluted with hydrocarbon, with a number of ‘oil lakes’ forming, causing critical harm to local land. This paper discusses the shifts in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 23 Nov 2018 · 8,412 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuses Running on GasRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Today, the transport problem is not only very diverse and complex but also highly disputed in terms of the optimal way of achieving modern and ecological transports. The energy and social crisis that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, which then haunted the planet repeatedly, becoming a major crisis, could be successfully avoided by postponing and reprogramming until mankind managed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagement of Renewable Energies and Environmental ProtectionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The purpose of this project is to present an overview of renewable energy sources, major technological developments and case studies, accompanied by applicable examples of the use of sources. Renewable energy is the energy that comes from natural resources: The wind, sunlight, rain, sea waves, tides, geothermal heat, regenerated naturally, automatically. Greenhouse gas emissions pose a serious threat to climate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2017 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Limonene-based Environmental-Friendly Emulsion Drilling MudOlaitan Oluwaseum Micheal, Orodu Oyinkepreye David, Ehinmowo Adegboyega BoluThe use of emulsion drilling mud in the oil and gas industry has gained wide acceptance. However, the disposal of drill cuttings and the waste of such emulsion drilling mud usually poses environmental concern. Hence, there is the need to seek oil from biodegradable sources as an alternative to the current conventional diesel oil which constitute environmental threat. In this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2017 · 7,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Subsurface Appraisal: A Key Link to the Success of Development Projects-Few ExamplesVirendra Singh, Ivan Yemez, Elena Izaguirre, Alvaro RaceroDuring exploration and production phases, the life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: Exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. Of particular interest is the appraisal stage, where billions of dollars are spent across the oil and gas industry on data gathering activities with a view to reducing subsurface uncertainties towards optimizing reservoir development and management. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2017 · 8,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Approach in Application of the AHP–Fuzzy TOPSIS Method in Mineral Potential Mapping of the Natural Bitumen (Gilsonite): A Case Study from the Gilan-e-Gharb Block, the Kermanshah, West of IranElham Rahimi, Younes Shekarian, Salman Mastri Farahani et al.The Gilan-e-Gharb block is known as a prospective area for hydrocarbon resources in the form of oil, gas in deep potential and natural bitumen (Gilsonite) on the surface. Natural bitumen is not clearly detectable by geochemical or geophysical methods. Hereupon, identifying high potential areas for further exploration, attempted with the help of AHP-Fuzzy and TOPSIS methods.
