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.

Proactive control of cresting in homogeneous oil reservoirs : an experimental study (2017)
Journal Article
Akangbou, H., Burby, M., & Nasr, G. (2017). Proactive control of cresting in homogeneous oil reservoirs : an experimental study. Petroleum Science, 14(4), 755-764. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12182-017-0167-0

This paper sets out to experimentally investigate the use of electromagnetic valve in controlling production of water during cresting from homogeneous non-fractured thick and thin-oil reservoirs, based on the principle of capillarity and breakthrou...
