Zitha, P.L.J. (author), Guo, H. (author)Capillary forces result in the trapping of the oleic phase in porous media even after extensive flushing with brine. Alkali-surfactant-polymer formulations drastically diminish capillary forces, whereas adding polymer to the water phase increases viscous forces, resulting in highly efficient extraction of the residual oil. However, by virtue...journal article 2022

de Vries, Coen (author)Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have played, and continue to play, a dominant role in global energy systems, and thereby in the social, economic and technological developments worldwide. Unfortunately, these energy sources have their negative side-effects: local air pollution and global CO2-emission. The latter has never been this...master thesis 2021

Janssen, M.T.G. (author)Foam-assisted chemical flooding (FACF) is a novel enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methodology that combines the injection of a surfactant slug, to mobilize previously trapped residual oil, with foam generation for drive mobility control, thus displacing the mobilized banked oil. The main goal of this study concerns the understanding of oil...doctoral thesis 2020

Hussain, A.A.A. (author)Foam flooding can be applied in soil-remediation techniques or for improving oil recovery processes in petroleum reservoirs. There are models which aim to predict the behaviour of foam in presence of oil in bulk and in porous media, however these models are not very reliable. In this work we investigate different ways in which a specific crude...doctoral thesis 2019

Beckers, Sanne (author)We are getting close to the so called peak of oil and this will result in a shortage of oil and therefore oil products. We can assume that the oil industry will get in decline, therefore we should think about the heritage that the oil industry will leave behind. An iconic element of the petrol industry is the oil storage tank. We can knock these...master thesis 2019

de Bruin, Joep (author)Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have increased unconventional oil and gas extraction from shale reserves in the U.S. in the last decade, making up more than half of total U.S. oil and gas production at present. This activity results in NOx emissions in the extraction regions that are measurable from space using the Ozone Monitoring...master thesis 2018

Zhu, P. (author)Since the mid-20th century, the Chinese government in collaboration with various governmental petroleum authorities, first with the Ministry of Petroleum and later with state-owned companies, has transformed the built environment on multiple levels, creating interrelated infrastructures and production sites, installing refineries and...conference paper 2018

Solomon, Dan (author)Exergy investment in producing hydrocarbons is a relatively small fraction of the energy of the oil produced; yet it can reduce energy consumption in the order of percentages. In areas of high insolation or high wind speed, it can be considered that part of the exergy required for these purposes can be retrieved from sustainable energy sources....master thesis 2017

Assaad, W. (author), Pasaribu, H.R. (author), Zijsling, DJ (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)Shell has developed a novel mono-diameter well concept for oil and gas wells as opposed to the traditional telescopic well design. A Mono- diameter well contains multiple casing sections with the same internal diameter. This is achieved by expansion of the casing sections concerned using an expansion cone. Since the well is drilled in stages and...conference paper 2017

Hassan, A.M. (author)Characterization of fluid properties is significant in the petroleum engineering practice, especially in solvent-based enhanced oil recovery (SEOR) where the use of injected chemicals should ideally be reduced to the bare minimum in order to minimize the costs and environmental impact of SEOR. However, current techniques for measurement inside...master thesis 2015

Konstantelos, S. (author)The European downstream oil sector has seen drastic changes over the past years and particularly after 2008 and the outbreak of the financial crisis. The developments which have taken place have put the sector under serious pressure, which was mainly felt by the European refining industry. In a nutshell, the industry has been greatly affected by...master thesis 2014

Van Campen, L.J.A.M. (author)Separation of oil and water is an essential step in the treatment of the production streams from fossil oil wells. Settling by gravity is a robust though voluminous process and therewith expensive method at remote locations, leading to a need for smaller separation equipment. In this thesis, we describe the research performed on the development...doctoral thesis 2014

Hussain, A.A.A. (author)This thesis investigates bulk foam stability in absence of oil, and in presence of oil (hexadecane). Foam in absence of oil was produced by sparging nitrogen at a fixed flow rate through the surfactant solution. Foam in presence of oil was produced by stirring a mixture of surfactant and oil with an immersion mixer. The behavior of foam in...master thesis 2013

Leeftink, T.N. (author)Simulators play a crucial role in EOR reservoir modeling. One of the big problems with the simulation of gas injection in SAG foam processes, is that foam collapse near the injection well is poorly represented in the simulator well model. This paper focusses on the question whether a simulator using the Peaceman equation for a homogeneous...bachelor thesis 2013

Bos, R.W. (author), Huisman, T.J. (author), Obers, M.P.W. (author), Schaap, T. (author), Van der Zalm, M. (author)Background The Dutch maritime industry has only limited knowledge about Arctic engineering, in spite of a growing market and interest by the oil and gas industry. This literature survey is the first in a series of three reports to develop a concept design of an Arctic Offshore Support Vessel (AOSV). The purpose is to give a perspective on Arctic...report 2013

De Bruin, W.J. (author)Simulations carried out for low salinity water flooding often do not include geochemical processes. Salt concentration, and thus the salinity, is modelled as a water tracer that does not react with the reservoir formation. The goal of this MSc thesis is to improve the understanding of the influence of geochemical processes on the mixing of...master thesis 2012

Jacobs, L.B. (author)Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) is a production method to produce heavy oil (>100 cP). It is mainly applied onshore Canada in unconsolidated sand reservoirs. Different theories exist about how the erosion process takes place inside the reservoir. This research project focused on the influence of the grain stress on the sand erosion...master thesis 2012

Tang, X. (author)The reliable removal of acid gas components, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas is an important technical challenge. Crude oil and hydrocarbon gas streams may contain high levels of CO2 and/or H2S as contaminants. It is desirable to prevent any contaminant to reach the surface, or to considerably reduce the...doctoral thesis 2011

Vafanejad, A. (author)There is a large demand for an online sensor to monitor the quality of lubricating oils. By constant monitoring the engine oil quality, a better understanding of oil condition can be found. The information on oil condition will lead to a much more accurate determination of proper oil change time, while it also provides increased insight into the...master thesis 2009
