The settlement drag coefficient of non-spherical particles (SDCNPs) is a crucial parameter in the field petroleum engineering. Accurately predicting SDCNPs fluid essential to selection and design proppant hydraulic fracturing scheme. Although many models for anticipating have been proposed, none them can be adopted non-Newtonian (NNF) Newtonian (NF). In investigation, NF NNF are studied experim...

This paper aims to analyze the thermal performance of four different heat transfer fluids in a hot oil system located paraffin hydrotreatment and fractionation plant petroleum refinery. The software Petro-SIM? (KBC- -Yokogawa) was employed elaborate steady-state simulations intended compare fluid currently used (eutectic biphenyl diphenyl oxide) three proposed as substitutes: (namely n-C13 +) p...

The biocidal activity of the aminomethyl derivatives 2-mercaptobenzoxazole synthesized by us and being interest as potential antimicrobial additives to petroleum products cutting fluids, was studied. aminomethylation reaction proceeded with participation methylene-bis-amines. As a result, appropriate N-substituted benzoxazolin-2-thiones were obtained. Their structure proved NMR 1H. Due poor sol...

Nanofluids have been applied in various fields, such as solar collectors, petroleum engineering, and chemical due to their superior properties compared traditional fluids. Among the thermophysical of nanofluids, viscosity plays a critical role thermal applications involving heat transfer fluid flow. While several conventional machine learning (ML) techniques proposed predict viscosity, these mo...

Workers in the petroleum industry are potentially exposed to a variety of petrochemicals, including benzene or benzene-containing liquids. Although a large number of studies of petroleum workers have been conducted to examine leukemia and other cancer risks, few existing studies have investigated cell-type-specific leukemias. One of the major reasons for the lack of cell-type-specific analysis ...

Petroleum is a complex mixture of lipophilic chemicals, some of which are likely to be substrates for the microsomal mixed function oxygenases. Petroleum retailers, by virtue of their occupational exposure potential, are a group likely to receive relatively heavy exposure to petroleum products in comparison with the general public. Urinary thioether output may provide a simple, non-invasive tec...

In the rubber industry, plasticizers for rubber compounds mainly consist of petroleum derivatives. Consequently, the rubber industry is in constant competition with many petroleum consumers. This competition places an economic strain on rubber companies such as HEXPOL RUBBER COMPOUNDING L.L.C. In order to alleviate this strain, natural oil alternatives to petroleum plasticizers are of novel res...

There are many challenges associated with development of offshore petroleum fields. Subsea production facilities are increasingly used in the petroleum industry as the technology has matured and quality increased. The use of subsea technology has advantages as well as challenges. Based on a literature review this paper identifies some if the development challenges related to the design and oper...

Aquamicrobium defluvii W13Z1 was isolated from petroleum-contaminated drill cuttings from the Bohai Sea and could degrade petroleum hydrocarbon with 5% NaCl at 15°C. Here, we present the 4.8-Mb draft genome sequence of this strain, which may provide useful information about the mechanism of petroleum degradation in drill cuttings.
