Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStudy of the Parameters of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Method for Enhanced Oil Recovery in a Heavy Oil Fractured Carbonate ReservoirArzhang NabilouBy increasing in the use of nonrenewable energy and decreasing in discovering hydrocarbonic reservoirs, in near future the world will encounter with a new challenge in the field of energy, so increase in recovery factor of the existing oil reservoirs is necessary after the primary production. In one hand the existence of untouched heavy oil reservoirs in Iran and lack … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Recovery of Used Palm Cooking Oil Using Bagasse as AdsorbentRizki Wannahari, Mariam Firdhaus Mad NordinProblem statement: The use and reduce cooking oil is a common phenomena in our society. While some of this cooking oil is further refine most of it however and not subject to any filtration in the refining process medium such as carbon active, silica are commonly use. Approach: The used of bagasse as adsorbent is not common. This is odd … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2012 · 10,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRemediation Technologies for Marine Oil Spills: A Critical Review and Comparative AnalysisD. Dave, A.E. GhalyProblem statement: Anthropogenic activities pollute the oceans with oil through land run off, vessels accidents, periodic tanker discharges and bilge discharges. Oil spills are environmental disasters that impact human, plants and wild life including birds, fish and mammals. Approach: In this study, the International Guidelines for Preventing Oils Spills and Response to Disasters were reviewed and the characteristics of oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 25,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLab-on-Chip Methodology in the Energy Industry: Wettability Patterns and Their Impact on Fluid Displacement in Oil Reservoir ModelsMarc H. Schneider, Patrick TabelingProblem statement: We present an experimental study of multiphase transport in porous media with controlled wettability patterns based on lab-on-chip methodology. Approach: Fractional, or patterned, wettability is known to have an enormous impact in the petroleum industry on oil recovery and continuous efforts are being made to assess the role of such conditions. Results: Thus far, due to the absence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction, Yield and Derivatives of Volatile Oils from Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus Virginiana L.)Elif Semen, Salim HizirogluEastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of the most widely distributed indigenous conifers in southern states including Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Eastern redcedar is also an important source of the volatile oils. This specie adversely influences the environment resulting in degrading grassland, displacement of native plant population and increasing wildlife hazard. Range-grown eastern redcedar has a poor quality. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Laboratory Measured and PVTP Software DataOluwasanmi Samuel Teniola, Mercy Isaiah OkegbemiCubic Equations of State (EOS), including the Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) models, are foundational in petroleum engineering for modeling the thermodynamic behavior of hydrocarbon systems. These EOS are widely used to predict phase behavior and Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) properties, which are crucial for reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and enhanced oil recovery. However, their predictive accuracy diminishes when applied to complex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2025 · 2,769 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Toolkit Approach for Carbon Capture and Storage in Offshore Depleted Gas FieldRaj Deo Tewari, Tan Chee Phuat, Mohd Faizal SedaralitFossil fuels are considered a dependable, cost-effective, and efficient energy source and their utilization has resulted in tremendous growth for humanity. However, it has its downside also. Experts are of the view that present energy systems are unsustainable due to their detrimental impacts on the environment. Oil and gas producers are charged that their infrastructure, utilization of materials and technologies … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 May 2023 · 6,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Purification Technology and Antioxidant Activity of Total Flavonoids from Sea Buckthorn LeavesJiale Shan, Yang Liu, Pu Zhao et al.China is rich in sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.)resources and a large amount of sea buckthorn fruit is used to extract oil andjuice every year. However, Sea Buckthorn Leaves (SBL), which are full offlavonoids, are discarded as waste. To make full use of resources and turn waste into valuables, theoptimal purification process of flavonoids from SBL was studied and theantioxidant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2022 · 6,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Fabrication and Operational Evaluation of a Co-Pyrolysis System for Waste-Plastics Derived Fuels: A Study of Edo NorthKevin Otoikhian, Ubani Oluwaseun Amune, Kennedy Edogamhe et al.This research work designed, developed and assessed the performance of a co-pyrolysis system generating waste-plastic extract fuels from mixed Municipal Waste Plastics (MWP) while evaluating High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS) as the main municipal waste plastic sources. The materials selected for the reactor were carefully studied to meet the pyrolysis system's strength, operability and safety requirements.
