Understanding the dynamics of pore-scale multicomponent gas and oil mass transfer across water "lms during hydrocarbon gas injection in petroleum reservoirs is important in the design of tertiary oil recovery schemes at the "eld scale. The water "lms prevent oil and gas coming into direct contact and, for miscible gas injection, delay the onset of miscibility. We use a pore-scale model to descr...

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

nowadays energy is one of the most essential needs of human being and it can be considered as the basic prerequisite of social and economic development.  hence, many of the correlations and legislations of a country are affected by it. since iran has huge source of gas and oil, it has turned to a fossil fuel oriented county. but as oil and gas sources are non-renewable ones and cannot be replac...

A significant share of the world's undiscovered oil and natural gas resources are assumed to lie under the seabed of the Arctic Ocean. Up until now, the exploitation of the resources especially under the European Arctic has largely been prevented by the challenges posed by sea ice coverage, harsh weather conditions, darkness, remoteness of the fields, and lack of infrastructure. Gradual warming...

A proper understanding of reservoir fluid phase behavior is the first crucial step in the development and production of an oil/gas field. This paper addresses the challenges and errors associated with the fluid sampling that may arise before, during and after the sampling operation. For this aim, DST and PVT data of exploration and production wells of a supergiant offshore gas condensate reserv...

This paper attempts to provide a unified framework that takes into account various aspects of the oil and natural gas exploratory process such as the depletion of the resource base with time, uncertainty in drilling, changing economic incentives and the joint product aspects of the oil and gas exploration. The equilibrium in the market for oil and natural gas prospects is first described and th...

iran’s vast common natural gas resources and the necessity to extract and export it as liquefied natural gas (lng) to distances more than 3000km opens a lucrative field for researchers to optimize lng cycles. in this article heat integration in cryogenic cycles by determining interacycle partition temperature and optimizing refrigeration features like subcooler, presaturator, aftercooler, reboi...

We use the Helmholtz free energy balance and the Mayer-Stowe-Princen method to derive general expressions governing multiphase pistonlike displacements in noncircular capillary elements with arbitrary wettability. We take into account hysteresis in oil/water, gas/water, and gas/oil contact angles. We study both two- and three-phase systems. We find threshold capillary pressures for gas invasion...
