Syntrophic Hydrocarbon Degradation in a Decommissioned Off-Shore Subsea Oil Storage Structure
Over the last decade, metagenomic studies have revealed the impact of oil production on the microbial ecology of petroleum reservoirs. However, despite their fundamental roles in bioremediation of hydrocarbons, biocorrosion, biofouling and hydrogen ...

High-Temperature, High-Pressure Viscosities and Densities of n-Hexadecane, 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-Heptamethylnonane, and Squalane Measured Using a Universal Calibration for a Rolling-Ball Viscometer/Densimeter [PDF]
The development of reference correlations for viscous fluids is predicated on the availability of accurate viscosity data, especially at high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) conditions.

Ozone and alkyl nitrate formation from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill atmospheric emissions [PDF]
Ozone (O3), alkyl nitrates (RONO2), and other photochemical products were formed in the atmosphere downwind from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill by photochemical reactions of evaporating hydrocarbons with NOx (=NO+NO2) emissions from spill response

H4-Alkanes: A new class of hydrogen storage material?
The methane-based material (H$_2$)$_4$CH$_4$, also called H4M for short, is in essence a methane molecule with 4 physisorbed H$_2$ molecules. While H4M has exceptionally high hydrogen storage densities when it forms a molecular solid, unfortunately, this

Volatile hydrocarbons inhibit methanogenic crude oil degradation [PDF]
Methanogenic degradation of crude oil in subsurface sediments occurs slowly, but without the need for exogenous electron acceptors, is sustained for long periods and has enormous economic and environmental consequences.

KOtBu as a Single Electron Donor? Revisiting the Halogenation of Alkanes with CBr4 and CCl4
The search for reactions where KOtBu and other tert-alkoxides might behave as single electron donors led us to explore their reactions with tetrahalomethanes, CX4, in the presence of adamantane.

Role of Internal Motions and Molecular Geometry on the NMR Relaxation of Hydrocarbons
The role of internal motions and molecular geometry on $^1$H NMR relaxation times $T_{1,2}$ in hydrocarbons is investigated using MD (molecular dynamics) simulations of the autocorrelation functions for in{\it tra}molecular $G_R(t)$ and in{\it ter ...
