A Molecular Dynamics Approach towards the Interfacial Properties of Sulfide- and Clay-Minerals
DownloadSpring 2019
Interfacial properties have a regulatory role in processes which involve the coexistence of different phases. Although such macro-scale properties are determined by the intrinsic nature of the interface-sharing phases, it is possible to alter them in favor of the process objectives. This,...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of solvent addition to bitumen froth on the wettability of froth solids. The wettability of solids determines the transportation/partitioning of the solids between phases, which in turn affects the solids and water rejection in a Clark hot...

Investigating Light Solvent Aided Process in Cold Lake Oil-Sand Reservoir Using Experimental and Numerical Approaches
DownloadSpring 2019
Steam assisted- gravity drainage (SAGD) is the main in-situ bitumen recovery process in which saturated steam is injected into the bitumen zone. However, it has some drawbacks, which include high-energy consumption and significant environmental concerns. Solvent Aided Process (SAP) is a method...

Viscosity reduction is critically important for heavy oil extraction and experimental studies have shown this can be achieved by injection of a light solvent into a reservoir and dilution of heavy oil in place. Solvent-based methods have challenges like slow diffusion process and oil production...

Probing surface properties at the nanoscale: effects of physicochemical heterogeneity on membrane wettability
DownloadFall 2020
Water purification by polymeric membranes has been abundantly applied to address global challenges of water scarcity and pollution of aquatic environments. Polymeric membranes are excellent candidates for low cost and energy-efficient high-quality water purification process. However, progress in...

During separation of emulsified water from oil, a viscous intermediate layer builds up between water and oil phases. This layer which is referred to as rag layer disrupts emulsion destabilization and water removal. The present research is intended to better understand the formation of a rag layer...

Shoute, Lian C.T.;, Hua, Weidi; Kisslinger, Ryan;, Thakur, Ujwal K.,, Zeng, Sheng;, Goswami, Ankur; Kumar, Pawan; Kar, Piyush; Shankar, K
Fouling of solid surfaces is a ubiquitous problem in industrial processes. As unwanted material accumulates on components, their function is impaired and costly repairs are required. Most fouling occurs from impurities present in water that are deposited when the water contacts a solid surface....

Spring 2019
Combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has led to improved oil recovery from unconventional resources over the past decade. In spite of the huge amount of oil in-place, the primary oil recovery factor is very low (3-10 % of initial oil in-place) in unconventional resources....

Abstract Abundant hydrocarbon resources in low-permeability formations are now accessible due to technological advances in multi-lateral horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing operations. The recovery of hydrocarbons is enhanced by the creation of extensive fracture networks....
