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 ...

Discover how steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) revolutionizes heavy oil extraction by making deep oil reserves accessible and economically viable.

Since 2003 prompt and long-term oil prices have been constantly climbing to levels ($70-90/bbl) that have caught many people by surprise. The erosion of large spare capacity in the oil chain and the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Petronas has identified EOR as one of the three keys to arrest declining output and boost domestic production at the country’s mature oilfields, especially with the average recovery factor in the ...
