Oil sludge treatment and recovery remain critical challenges in environmental remediation and resource recovery, due to the hazardous nature of sludge generated in petroleum refining and related ...

The continuous demand for unconventional oil, such as heavy oil as an alternative energy supply, justifies the global oil reserves of as high as 1734 billion barrels in 2019. However, the drawback of ...

Removing and selling NGL from the produced gas stream is one on the ways CO 2 enhanced oil recovery projects can improve their economics. These projects involve gas recycling into the reservoir for ...

Research using neutrons at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s High Flux Isotope Reactor is helping scientists better understand how to extract oil from unconventional reservoirs, serving to reinforce ...

Based on a presentation to the GPA Europe Annual Conference, Prague, Sept. 21-23, 2011. Operational scenarios for two uses of a new refrigeration process for recovering NGLs from natural gas have ...

A black powder of spherical carbon nanoparticles with specific properties can be synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Surface modifications can be achieved by chemically bonding organic ...

A common method of extracting oil by injecting large amounts of water into old wells is coming under scrutiny by Michigan environmental groups. The technique, known as water flooding, has been around ...

Flue gas assisted steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a frontier technology to enhance oil recovery for heavy oil reservoirs. The carbon dioxide generated from the thermal recovery of heavy oil ...
