Characterization of Oilfield High Molar Mass Polymers Under Different pH and Mono-Di Valent Ion Environment Using Asymmetrical Flow Fluid Flow Fractionation
DownloadSpring 2017
Various types of ultrahigh molar mass polyacrylamides (PAMs) or HPAMs and their co- and ter-polymers used not only in enhanced oil recovery, but also in drilling, fracturing, water treatment and tailing applications require an accurate description of polymer molar mass (Mw) and hydrodynamic size...

Effect of viscoelasticity and alkali on heavy oil EOR performance using HPAM, 'AA-NVP' co- and cross-linked polymers
DownloadSpring 2014
Polymer solutions are characterized based on their viscoelasticity to improve the displacement efficiency for enhanced oil recovery. Contribution of viscoelastic polymers solution’s elasticity on oil recovery needs to be analyzed thoroughly for better screening of polymers for field operations....

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE SETTLING VELOCITY OF SPHERICAL PARTICLES IN VISCOELASTIC FLUIDS
DownloadFall 2017
Knowledge of settling behavior of particles in various types of fluids is indispensable to design and optimize numerous industrial operations such as cuttings transport in oil and gas well drilling, proppant transport in hydraulic fracturing operations, and so on. Most of the models developed so...

Optical Diagnostics of the Motion of Spherical, Cylindrical and Irregularly Shaped Particles within variable Flow Media
DownloadSpring 2023
The shape of non-spherical or irregularly shaped particles have been a challenging factor to include in mathematical models that describe particle motion in a fluid. In many studies in the literature, irregularly shaped particles have been modelled essentially as spheres. This thesis is an...

Study of Effects of Polymer Elasticity on Enhanced Oil Recovery by Core Flooding and Visualization Experiments
DownloadFall 2012
Polymer flooding is the simplest and one of the most widely used chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques. Viscoelasticity of polymers is known to contribute significantly towards improved displacement efficiency in polymer flood operations. But the contribution of elasticity of...
