Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Spontaneous Imbibition in Nanopores and Recovery of Asphaltenic Crude Oils Using Surfactants for EOR Applications — We present Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of the imbibition process in nanopores in case of two different mechanisms of the wettability modification. We compare the imbibition of an aqueous surfactant solution into an oil-wet pore driven by su...

During the last two decades, all fields, including oil sector, depended mainly on technological progress to keep pace with developments in this field. This was accompanied by an increase hacking attempts. Cyber-attacks are defined as of a computer person or group people over Internet, causing lot damage, especially devices and equipment that depend Internet; leads substantial financial losses. ...

With the rapid development of the oil industry and oil transportation, oil well blowout and marine oil spill accidents ca·used a lot of environmental damage in recent years, so there is a growing demand for oil spill disaster emergency response. It is difficult to monitor oil spill by conventional ways in real time due to the large range of oil spill, so remote sensing technology becomes the mo...

Mechanical extraction: this traditional method of cottonseed oil extraction uses a circular mortar (called ghani in India, Achaya, 1993) or more advanced technology, such as a hydraulic press or a screw press (expeller). The cotton seeds may be dehulled, cracked, dried or heated before being fed to the press. The resulting cake is dried, ground and then processed into large pellets (Ash, 1992)....
