Investigation on the Benefits of Steam Adsorption and Distribution during Cyclic Steam Injection to Improve Oil Recovery - FNE Case Study, Sudan
Abstract: One of the main types of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods is thermal stimulation method which is an increasingly common method of extracting heavy oil. there are different forms of the technology of thermal method Cyclic steam stimulation, Steam flooding and In-situ combustion “Fire flooding” are commonly applied to oil reservoirs, which are relatively shallow very viscous oil at the reservoir temperature, the most widely used steam injection methods for …

Production of Renewable fuel from a high invasive risk native plant
Abstract: Petroleum has been the transportation fuel of choice for more than a century now, but it’s not the only fuel that can run our cars and trucks. Some of the most promising replacements for oil come from organic biomass, including crops such as corn, switch grass, eucalyptus, soybeans and algae, wood, the main sources for the renewable fuels in use today. Bioethanol and Biodiesel are the most widely used renewable …

Bioconversion of butanol from waste paper
Abstract: Bio-butanol production from lignocellulosic biomass considered promising and Economically feasible. This paper provides an development of lignocellulose-based bio-butanol production with a focus on the understanding of the structure of the feedstock, pretreatment technologies, and fermentation processes. To enhance butanol production from lignocellulose materials, strategies in terms of inhibitors detoxification, strains improvement and process integration and optimization are also addressed. Besides, there researchers attempts to shed light on the challenges and …

Methane Recovery From Gas Hydrate By Cool Frack Method
Abstract: Methane in Gas hydrates are the most believed energy source for the future. These are solid crystalline ice with hydrogen bonded water molecules, which traps the guest molecules such as methane, propane, H2S, etc., in its cages. It commonly found in permafrost and deep oceanic sediments and occur in oil and gas pipelines. The extraction of methane from gas hydrates without any geo-hazard and economic efficient is what still a …

Modeling and Optimization of Continuous Gas Lift Performance in Libya Oil Field
Abstract: With a massive number of oil and gas field becoming mature, the upstream engineering is facing new challenge. How to develop , or at least steady production while keeping obtainable reserves at their existing level, As matter of fact unstable production in gas lift wells. The Key issues most operators encounter with oil fields are the effects of high water production that may lead to wells died and decrease in …
