simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Bright Water: Hydrosols, Water Conservation and Climate Change

Because air-water and water-air interfaces are equally refractive, cloud droplets and microbubbles dispersed in bodies of water reflect sunlight in much the same way. The lifetime of sunlight-reflecting microbubbles, and hence the scale on which they may be applied, depends on Stokes Law and the influence of ambient or added surfactants. Small bubbles backscatter light more efficiently than lar...

Climate Change and Degradation of Surface Water: Mikkes Basin (morocco)

The Mikkes basin is located at the north centre of Morocco. The yearly approach of the P<2T ratio reveals a very bad monthly distribution of precipitations and a seasonal drought which is apparently observed well after the Eighties era. The extent of the drought can be shown clearly by the strong deficit of the river between the periods 1970-1979 and 1980-2000 which is considerable with around ...

Happiness on Tap: Piped Water Adoption in Urban Morocco

Connecting private dwellings to the water main is expensive and typically cannot be publicly financed. We show that households’ willingness to pay for a private connection is high when it can be purchased on credit, not because a connection improves health but because it increases the time available for leisure and reduces interand intra-household conflicts on water matters, leading to sustaine...
