Abstract:

In petroleum production, Produced Water Re-Injection (PWRI) has earned much interest among disposal methods of the produced water. However, presence of the contaminants in the produced waters usually results in formation damage in well bores and their surrounding fracture systems. In the present study, modeling of external cake formation on a fracture in unsteady-state conditions is discussed. The existing force vectors of different nature are analyzed in detail at first, as the second step force and fluid mass balances specific to the case are derived. Finally, by solving the formulated governing equations, cake thickness, permeate velocity and cross flow velocity profiles in unsteady-state conditions are obtained.

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. ...

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Combustion Process, Soot and NOx formation In a Direct-injection Diesel Engine

This paper is presented to study the combustion process and emissions in a direct injection diesel engine. Computations are carried out using a three-dimensional model for flows, sprays, combustion and emissions in Diesel engines. Interactions between combustion and emissions with flow field are considered and it is shown that soot mass fraction increases at regions with low turbulence inten...

critical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language

since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...

Formation, Evolution, and the Structure of Fronts Produced By Unsteady Injection of Highly Magnetized, Relativistic Flows

We study the formation, evolution and structure of dissipative fronts produced by overtaking collisions of relativistic streams, with emphasis on strongly magnetized flows. The evolution of the system is followed using analytical approach in the simple wave regime and numerical simulations in the non-simple wave regime, until a steady-state is reached. The steady-state structure of the front is...
