In the Oil and Gas industry, installing pipe loops is a well-known hydraulic practice to increase oil pipeline capacities. Nevertheless, could promote an unfavorable phenomenon known as fouling. That means that in heavy oil-water mixture gathering system with low flow velocities, stratified pattern will appear. consequence, due high viscosity, stick on pipe, causing reduction of effective diame...

Maximizing the production of high-value olefins from heavy crude oil is a crucial topic in downstream refining industry. However, converting heavier fractions major challenge due to small pore size zeolites. Therefore, this work aimed develop extrudate zeolite catalysts posing adequate micromesoporous network and moderate acidity by combining microporous with boehmite phase alumina. These extru...

Corophium volutator (Pallas) has been recommended by the paris Commission as one of the standard species for testing chemical used in offshore oil and gas exploration/production. In the present study, gut contents of Corophium volutator have been analysed by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) for BaSO4 and other heavy metal impurities after exposure tto spiked sediments followin...

Recently, more and new oil fields entering commercial production are complicated by the content of high-viscosity products, which located at relatively shallow depths. For rational development such fields, a network horizontal wells is used. A special feature these objects weakly cemented reservoir, leads to significant sand occurrence during well operation. At same time, removal mechanical imp...
