In this study, the energy consumption in the food and beverage industries of Iran was investigated. The energy consumption in this sector was modeled using artificial neural network (ANN), response surface methodology (RSM) and genetic algorithm (GA). First, the input data to the model were calculated according to the statistical source, balance-sheets and the method proposed in this paper. It ...

Weiyuan gas field, located in the Sichuan basin of south China, is a large marine gas field with the oldest reservoir (the Sinian sequences) in south China. The hydrocarbon origin of the gas field has long been debated by petroleum geologists. Recently, it was recognized that a paleo-oil pool maybe the significant contributor to the gas field. Consequently, when the paleo-oil pool had been crac...

the request for natural gas attention to its adaption with environment and less pollution than the other fossil fuels has the highest growth in last decades. in result this energy has high geopolitical importance. iran with has about 2.18 percent of total world reserves, the largest in the world. but couldn't played important role in the natural gas geopolitics and even it hasn't in b...

Growing global demand for energy, result in depletion of easily access source of fossil fuels. To fulfillment of this huge demand, oil and gas industry expanded to develop offshore oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, which made environmental management challenging. IRAN owns one of the biggest offshore gas reservoir in PERSIAN GULF with high geopolitical and financial importance. Along the ...

gas compressibility factor (z-factor) is an important parameter widely applied in petroleum and chemical engineering. experimental measurements, equations of state (eoss) and empirical correlations are the most common sources in z-factor calculations. however, these methods have serious limitations such as being time-consuming as well as those from a computational point of view, like instabilit...

The experimental study and modeling of gravity drainage during Water Alternative Gas Injection, WAG process, in carbonate rock for one of the Iranian off-shore reservoir at lab-scale were carried out. The mechanism of gravity drainage during the WAG process, and its contribution to the oil recovery in the fract...
