Development of efficient formulation for the removal of iron sulphide scale in sour production wells

Iron sulphide scale, which exists in different forms, is common in sour oil and gas production wells. Iron sulphide hard scales are difficult to remove with acids, requiring mechanical intervention or the replacement of the production tubing. An environmentally friendly formulation with a high pH is proposed for the removal of both soft and...

Particle path based tomographic image velocimetry

Particle path based image velocimetry has been developed for 3D volumetric velocity measurement of fluid flows. The proposed method is basically based on the tomographic reconstruction of 3D particle paths by using multiple camera views of long exposure particle images. Particle path based image velocimetry was popular in the early days of 2D...

Determinants of IT Usage and New Product Performance

Explosive growth of information technologies (IT) has prompted interest in examining the role of IT in new product development (NPD). Through desk-top software and web-based tools, IT has been used to aid idea generation and product testing as well as for NPD activities such as process and portfolio management. Recent research suggests, however,...
