Effect of impermeable barrier orientation on bottom water cresting (2017)
Journal Article
Akangbou, H., Burby, M., Nasr, G., & Babaie, M. (2017). Effect of impermeable barrier orientation on bottom water cresting. Journal of Engineering Technology, 6(2), 853-869

The use of either a permeable or semi-permeable barriers has been proven to be effective in minimizing cresting effects in oil reservoirs characterized by strong bottom aquifer, with the latter known to be more effective. Most research has been focus... Read More about Effect of impermeable barrier orientation on bottom water cresting.

Economic evaluation of environmentally friendly vegetable oil-based invert emulsion (2017)
Journal Article
Ihenacho, P., Burby, M., Nasr, G., & Enyi, G. (2017). Economic evaluation of environmentally friendly vegetable oil-based invert emulsion. Journal of Engineering Technology, 6(2), 776-783

Stringent environmental regulations and technical requirements of difficult formations such as shale demand the use of functional mud system to complete a well safely and economically. The economic viability of 50/50 oil-water ratio invert emulsion... Read More about Economic evaluation of environmentally friendly vegetable oil-based invert emulsion.

Wettability effects on Bandera Gray Sandstone using biosurfactants (2017)
Journal Article
Ukwungwu, S., Abbas, A., Nasr, G., Allison, H., & Goodman, S. (2017). Wettability effects on Bandera Gray Sandstone using biosurfactants. Journal of Engineering Technology, 6(2),

Despite the growing demand for sustainable technologies that enhance residual oil recovery, the environmental and cost benefits of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) have favoured an increased research that is utilising a biosurfactant for oil re...

Particle emissions of a diesel car during real world urban driving (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Babaie, M., Deka, E., Ameri, R., Siteisamtinieri, S., Bodisco, T., Nourian, A., & Nasr, G. (2017, June). Particle emissions of a diesel car during real world urban driving. Poster presented at 2017 Cambridge Particle Meeting, Cambridge

Diesel engines are known to have good fuel economy that makes them to be the ideal source of power when it comes to mining, transportation, excavation, drilling and even for domestic use. The increase use of diesel engines has however introduced the... Read More about Particle emissions of a diesel car during real world urban driving.

The influence of temperature and pressure on surface tension and bubble diameter of methane (CH4) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) in water (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Yahaya, A., Enyi, G., Abbas, A., & Nasr, G. (2017, June). The influence of temperature and pressure on surface tension and bubble diameter of methane (CH4) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) in water. Presented at 6th International Conference on Petroleum Engineering, Spain

Surface tension is very important property in petroleum and gas operations. It provide an insight into the understanding most of multiphase fluids behaviour. In this experimental study, the surface tension of methane and carbon dioxide bubbles in a c...
