Role of sulphates and chloride ions in improved oil recovery in a hybrid smart-low salinity flooding technique (2021)
Thesis
Al-otaibi, A. (2021). Role of sulphates and chloride ions in improved oil recovery in a hybrid smart-low salinity flooding technique. (Thesis). University of Salford

The growing demand for energy to cater for the growing world population has forced the exploitation and utilisation of existing hydrocarbon resources. Oil and gas are deemed the most conventional and common sources of energy, formed as a result of d...

Experimental investigation of the effect of nanoparticles and polymer on interfacial tension between oil and water during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) (2021)
Thesis
Rashid, F. Experimental investigation of the effect of nanoparticles and polymer on interfacial tension between oil and water during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). (Dissertation). University of Salford

Nanotechnology has been generally used in several other industries, and the interest in it within the oil industry is increasing, due to its potential to deeply change enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and to improve the mechanism of recovery. With the dec... Read More about Experimental investigation of the effect of nanoparticles and polymer on interfacial tension between oil and water during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).

Experimental investigation of sodium surfactin as potential methane-water hydrate formation inhibitor (2020)
Thesis
Suleiman, S. Experimental investigation of sodium surfactin as potential methane-water hydrate formation inhibitor. (Thesis). University of Salford

The leading technologies employed in gas processing operations, including gas pipeline transport, are generally chemical based technologies. Chemical based substances are widely used as surfactants in these operations, including hydrate formation pre...

Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles (2020)
Thesis
Hassan, K. Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles. (Thesis). University of Salford

The mechanical approach of utilizing high-pressure water for scale removal has gained wider acceptance by multinational despite facing poor downhole performance challenges (cavitation) that need abrasion compensation (sand). Although sand particles h... Read More about Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles.

Role of connate water salinity in gas dispersion during enhanced gas recovery by carbon dioxide injection and sequestration
Thesis
Abba, M. (in press). Role of connate water salinity in gas dispersion during enhanced gas recovery by carbon dioxide injection and sequestration. (Thesis). University of Salford

A better understanding of the factors that influence mixing between CO2 and CH4 in natural gas reservoirs can provide an avenue to minimise the gas dispersion during Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR). This highlights EGR’s field scale adoption as a poten... Read More about Role of connate water salinity in gas dispersion during enhanced gas recovery by carbon dioxide injection and sequestration.
