Research on increasing oil production through fracturing

knowledge production through collaborative management research

Recently, literature around the theme of collaborative management research has grown considerably. According to the definition of collaborative management research, two components are connected to each other in this context; managers of organizations and academic researchers. In literature, many authors claim that the relationship between these two components could lead to significant advantage...

Increasing crop production through more controlled photosynthesis.

Palm oil production through sustainable plantations

The Malaysian oil palm industry is one of the most highly organised sectors of any national agriculture system of the world. Today, though, the focus has shifted to how well agriculture also meets universally accepted standards of sustainability. This paper highlights the development of oil palm cultivation and responsible farming practices in Malaysia, the world’s largest producer of palm oil....

Research on the Reciprocating Sealing of Fracturing Pump

The failure reasons of reciprocating sealing in OPI-1800AWS fracturing pump are analyzed by scanning electron microscope technology (SEMT). The lubrication mechanism of plunger seal friction pair is analyzed by hydrodynamic lubrication theory. During its discharge and suction stroke, the reciprocating sealing friction pair meets the conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication, a certain thickness of...

Microbiology relevant to hydraulic fracturing and oil sands

The conference paper on this site describes metagenomic DNA sequencing of flowback water from hydraulic fracturing sites with the goal of determining the microbes present and their potential role in biodegradation. This patent describes a mannohydrolase from a ther-mophilic bacterium that will maintain activity of temperatures as high as 150 degrees centigrade. The FracFocus website contains in...
