The first phase of an accelerated project to develop Saudi Arabia’s deep gas potential has been sanctioned, and a large number of new gas producers are currently being drilled and completed. A number of wells have been either acid or hydraulically frac’d, and preliminary production tests have shown significant productivity increases resulting from this type of stimulation. Consequently, plans h...

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling of a continuous countercurrent hydrolysis process was performed using ANSYS-CFX. The liquid properties and flow behavior such as density, specific heats, dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansivity as well as water solubility of the hydrolysis components triglyceride, diglyceride, monoglyceride, free fatty acid, and glycerol were c...
