Predictability of Equation of State (EoS)-based Gas Hydrate Models for Single and Binary Gas Mixtures
Abstract: The better models are necessary to design and understand the phase behavior of produced trapped natural gas from natural gas hydrates from subsea environments. Most of the models available in an open literature are primarily applicable at relatively low pressure condition thus making their use very limited for gas hydrate reservoir modeling. In order to produce methane from these gas hydrates, it is important to understand the phase behavior through …

The Effect of Temperature on Possible Microorganisms Isolated and Identified in Freshwater and Saltwater Media from Mixed Crude Oil
Abstract: The investigation of the effect of temperature on the characteristics and properties of microorganisms isolated and identified in freshwater and saltwater media mixed with crude oil demonstrates the potential impact of temperature variation under different bioreactor conditions. However, temperature was identified as an inhibitor of microbial growth, resulting in a decrease in the population of individual organisms sampled during the investigation. This trend was observed in both freshwater and saltwater …
