nanotechnology
-
With a successful pilot under its belt, Thailand's national oil company is planning a bigger production unit.
-
Paraffin deposition on the meters measuring produced water volumes causes inaccurate readings. New technology solutions enable lasting accuracy in the place of routine maintenance that provides a temporary solution.
-
When water and metal meet, you get corrosion. You also get a good dose of creative engineering and innovation.
-
The authors report that nanopolysilicon can be used effectively as a depressurizing, injection-increasing agent.
-
The agreement will introduce rod couplings coated with nanolaminate technology with the goal of improving equipment reliability.
-
Nanotechnology has great potential to reduce cost, increase production, and even improve the sustainability of E&P operations. But, where do we stand in terms of potential vs. reality? And, is the industry ready and willing to use the technology?
-
In this work, the authors demonstrate at a laboratory scale the possibility of using a radio-frequency heating system as a heat exchanger.
-
As practitioners we don’t always convey that the oil and gas industry is at the forefront of many different technologies, but we should, if only because it can be a real selling point to attract young people to our industry. In that spirit, I selected three papers that deal with nanotechnology.
-
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is a promising way to remove dispersed oil from produced water. In this study, the authors investigated the optimal operating conditions for MNPs and the mechanisms of MNP/oil attachments and magnetic separation.
-
This paper presents a critical review of the recent literature to determine the status of research and development and field application of nanotechnology in the oil field.
