    Shale Gas in India: Status and Challenges

    By Vikas Mahto

    Abstract: With decline of production in gas fields, India became sixth largest natural gas importer in the global market. Seeing the domestic demand, it is essential to unlock shale gas from different shale gas plays in India. The key elements of shale gas production include the extensive drilling campaign, the need for hydraulic fracturing and realization of global growing of production facilities and flowlines. Also, advanced technologies are required for development …

    Emerging Technologies to Control Wax Deposition in the Oilfields: An Overview

    By Vikas Mahto

    Abstract: Wax deposition on the well bore, production tubing, flow lines and pipelines reduces the production or flow capacity and increases the cost for the production and transportation of waxy crude oils in the oilfields. The different conventional methods for the control of wax deposition problems are mechanical, chemical, electrical, thermal and combination of others. But, there is no single solution to this problem that can be applied to all the …

    Study the Rheological and Filtration Properties of Oil-in-Water Emulsion for its Application in Oil and Gas Well Drilling

    By Vikas Mahto

    Abstract: This research article investigates the rheological and filtration properties of oil-in-water emulsion required for oil and gas well drilling. The rheological and filtration properties of the emulsions were enhanced by varying concentrations of xanthan gum and CaCO3. The concentration of diesel oil was varied in the range of 5–30% (v/v). The concentration of xanthan gum was varied in the range of 0.25–1% (w/v) and CaCO3 in the range of 1–4% …
