Oilfield chemistry
The effects of aging and temperature on the performance of one-part “just add water” granite based geopolymers are studied for application in well cementing and abandonment. Further studied is the role of zinc as a strength enhancer over a long curing period.
This paper presents the evaluation results of a water-shutoff agent based on an emulsion-type chemical material with nanoparticles.
The authors of this paper discuss the use of dissolved polystyrene waste for the preparation of nanomembranes for separation of hydrocarbon pollutants from wastewater streams.

There is a thin line between success and failure of clay stabilizers as they can either drive performance or cause unwanted formation damage.
-
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.
