Quantitation and organic geochemical characterization of petroleum-like materials found on an undisturbed beach of the Padre Island National Seashore [PDF]
, 1980 On June 3, 1979 the IXTOC I well in the Bay of Campeche 'blew out' with the subsequent release of 3 to 4 million barrels of oil. A major portion of that oil is known to have escaped recovery or was deliberately dispersed into the environment.

Modeling and Scaling of the Viscosity of Suspensions of Asphaltene Nanoaggregates
Energies, 2017 The scaling and modeling of the viscosity of suspensions of asphaltene nanoaggregates is carried out successfully taking into consideration the solvation and clustering of nanoaggragates, and the jamming of the suspension at the glass transition volume ...

Probing Mechanical Properties of Water-Crude Oil Interfaces and Colloidal Interactions of Petroleum Emulsions using Atomic Force Microscopy [PDF]
, 2017 Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is frequently used to elucidate complex interactions in emulsion systems. However, comparing results obtained with “model” planar surfaces to curved emulsion interfaces often proves unreliable, because droplet curvature can ...

Hydrophobically Modified Chitosan‐Based Polymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery
CleanMat, EarlyView.Conversion of biowaste (shrimp shells) into high value product for upstream applications. ABSTRACT The upstream petroleum industry significantly contributes to environmental pollution through the use of fossil‐derived chemicals. This study explores the potential of green alternatives by synthesizing and evaluating chitosan‐based polymers for enhanced ...

Chemical characterization of liquefaction products of an inertinite enriched northern Alaska coals [PDF]
, 1989 A Northern Alaskan coal rich in inertinites was further enriched by density gradient separations. The degree of condensation of the enriched coal was estimated to be low, mainly 3 ring.

A study of the combustion chemistry of petroleum and bio-fuel oil asphaltenes [PDF]
, 2016 The combustion of heavy fuel oils such as Bunker C and vacuum residual oil (VRO) are widely used for industrial applications such as furnaces, power generation and for large marine engines. There is also the possible use of bio-oils derived from biomass.

Dust evolution, a global view: I. Nano-particles, nascence, nitrogen and natural selection . . . joining the dots [PDF]
RSOS published 2016, 2021 The role and importance of nano-particles for interstellar chemistry and beyond is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model at the IaS (THEMIS), focussing on their active surface chemistry (nascence), the effects of nitrogen doping and the natural selection of interesting nano-particle sub-structures. Nano-particle driven
