Optimized Design and Control of Oil Exploitation Strategies: An Assisted Approach
Abstract: Because there are so many factors and scenarios to consider, optimizing oil exploitation tactics requires complicated decision-making. Conventional approaches frequently concentrate on particular elements of the design infrastructure, which restricts their capacity to fully handle the process. In order to maximize a set of oil exploitation variables in a hierarchical fashion, this research proposes a novel assisted optimization technique that combines mathematical algorithms with engineering analysis. By grouping variables into …

Water reservoir engineering and management
Abstract: This work aims to develop a practical system to store water in times of abundance and reuse it in times of scarcity. The proposed system uses natural caves, caverns, or empty underground spaces from mining or oil or gas extraction to store water. The geological structure of the water reservoir should be a non-porous substrate to avoid leakage. Water collection comes from dam discharge during thaw times or river flooding, …

Integration of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines into Urban Environments: Feasibility and Design Considerations
Abstract: Abstract This study aims to comprehensively investigate the performance of Savonius rotor wind turbines through a combination of numerical simulations and experimental testing. Initially, 3-dimensional CAD software Solidworks and ANSYS will be utilized to design detailed models of the turbines. Numerical meshes will then be generated around these models using FLUENT software, incorporating the k-ε turbulence model to simulate fluid flow fields. Parameters such as drag coefficient, lift coefficient, pressure …

Experimental Study on the Impact of Polymer (PAM) in Enhancing Oil Recovery in Upper Assam Basin Oil fields
Abstract: The Upper Assam Basin, one of India’s most mature and extensively exploited hydrocarbon provinces, is experiencing declining oil production due to reservoir depletion and unfavorable crude oil–brine–rock (COBR) interactions. In this context, alkali–polymer (AP) flooding has emerged as a promising chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategy. AP flooding reduces interfacial tension (IFT) through in-situ surfactant generation by alkali and improves sweep efficiency via polymer-based mobility control, typically using polyacrylamide (PAM). …
