Application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in oil and gas industry

A. Sircar, Kriti Yadav, Kamakshi Rayavarapu et al. · 4 Jun 2021

Oil and gas industries are facing several challenges and issues in data processing and handling. Large amount of data bank is generated with various techniques and processes. The proper technical analysis of this database is to be carried out to improve performance of oil and gas industries. This paper provides a comprehensive state-of-art review in…

Applications of nanoparticles in enhanced oil recovery

A. Sircar, Kamakshi Rayavarapu, Namrata Bist et al. · 23 Aug 2021

Nanoparticles serve various purposes in the hydrocarbon industry which are utilized to improve the volume of oil and gas production. Nanomaterials are used in petroleum applications as nanoparticles, nanosensors, nanocomposites, coated nanoparticles, nanofluids etc. Thus, the application of nanotechnology in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method helps to extract the trapped oil present beneath the…

Formation, stabilization and chemical demulsification of crude oil-in-water emulsions: A review

Edith Yonguep, Kashala Fabrice Kapiamba, Katende Jonathan Kabamba et al. · 7 Feb 2022

The crude oil recovery process is frequently associated with the formation of stable emulsions due to factors such as turbulent flow in pipelines and the presence of surface-active substances that naturally occur in crude oil. These emulsions are undesirable for the petroleum industry because their destruction/treatment adds to the overall production cost and causes the…

A review on the rheology of heavy crude oil for pipeline transportation

Farid Souas, Abdelhamid Safri, Abdelbaki Benmounah · 6 Nov 2020

Given the combination of rising global energy demand and the decline in conventional crudes, heavy crudes are generally considered to be the future energy resource. In many regions of the world, heavy crude oil must be transported through pipelines from the point of production to storage facilities or refineries. The transportation of heavy crude oil…

Basic characteristics and evaluation of shale oil reservoirs

Zaixing Jiang, Wenzhao Zhang, Chao Liang et al. · 1 Dec 2016

Shale oil refers to liquid hydrocarbons existing in free, dissolved or adsorbed states in the effective source rock of mudstones or shales, where some residual oil is retained after hydrocarbon generation and expulsion from the mudstones or shales. Basically shale oil experiences no migration or only undergoes some primary, short-distance migration within the source rocks.…
