Anti-static Additive and Particulate Formation in Jet Fuel at Low Temperature
Abstract: Over-dosed anti-static additive Stadis 450 can form particulates in jet fuel when temperature goes down to around -38oC. The particulate formation was observed during freezing point test. The jet fuel produced by Toruk refinery of Arabian Gulf Oil Company of Libya had freezing point of about -55OC which is lower than required-47OC for jet fuel A-1. Key words: Libya, Tobruk refinery, Sarir refinery, Jet Fuel, Anti-Static Additive, Particulate, Low Temperature

Eco-friendly drilling fluid water loss controlling agents
Abstract: The water loss from the drilling fluid with the addition natural additives like bagasse, natural sugar, natural rubber was studied. The entire study is focused on improving the quality of controlling fluid loss with effect of natural additives. The concentrations of the additives were changed to achieve the desired reasonable value of fluid loss with the help of high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) filter press which worked at the …

Inhibitors of steel corrosion in pipelines
Abstract: Traditions of similarity in test methods have evaluated different efficiencies of different inhibitors. Electrostatically adsorbed green organic inhibitors act as mixed type double layer interactions to steel surfaces. Hydro distillation of plant originated oils is good inhibitors to corrosion of steel, achieved from medicinal grounds. Drinking water corrosion responds maximum numbers of ionic variables to deal with additive mechanical variables for studies in corrosion of steel. Intentional injections of HCl …

The synthetic fuel production using the new method of the Chlorella high quality concentration
Abstract: The microalga concentrates are unique for synthesizing of high quality fuel. The synthetic of high quality fuel production formed because of the possibility of extraction of the raw oil (synthetic fuel) from microalga’s high quality concentrates. The microalga concentrate of Chlorella is the most suitable material for synthetic high quality raw oil production. Existing methods of centrifugation or microfiltration of microalga Chlorella concentration are very expensive. The paper represents the …

Breathing prediction of fracture deviated wellbore through flooding mechanism
Abstract: Wellbore breathing is a common occurrence during drilling operations, but the down hole mechanism and how it manifests itself in surface and subsurface processes, is not well understood. It often result in a drilling fluid gain at surface and are misidentified as a kick, resulting in unneeded shut in periods and associated non-productive time (NPT). Further, misidentification of wellbore breathing as underbalance often results in increases in mud weight, which …
