Model to Predict the Non-Competitive Inhibition of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation
Abstract: This investigation involves the development of model to predict the non-competitive inhibition of petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. The result of the model shows the relation between the substrates concentration (hydrocarbon) with time. It was observed that at a very small rate the substrate decrease upon the act of the inhibitor. The non-inhibitor is such that it influences the growth rate of the enzymes substrate formation but attacking not necessarily the active …

An analytical study of the technological & managerial advancements in the sedimentary basins of Brazil with special emphasis on Campos basin over a period of 5 decades
Abstract: Once a basin is found to be economically viable after the G&G studies and various reserve estimation methods it has to be exploited for the extraction of hydrocarbon. The basin consists of numerous wells drilled at different depths depending upon the stratigraphical variations in it. For the purpose of drilling a well and installation of production facilities over the life of well and basin, the technology deployed initially will have …

Impact of New-Defined Criteria on Evaluation of Depth of Investigation for Radial and Transient Linear Flow
Abstract: The depth of investigation (DOI) is a fundamental parameter in many reservoir engineering calculations, whereas there is no generally accepted industry standard and evaluation method so far. Inconsistencies or errors will arise when unconditionally using various formulae to calculate the value of DOI. This paper investigated the key issues about DOI in terms of production rate, pressure cut-off value, especially the selection of evaluation criteria. New relations for DOI evaluation …
