The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Supercritical water deasphalting. Abstract The removal of sulphur from heavy fuel oil (HFO) is essential to address environmental concerns and comply with the stringent regulations imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2020. Previously, the acceptable limit for sulphur was 3.5 wt.%, but it was recently changed to 0.5 wt.%.

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 ...

An assessment of stress and production rate of sucker rod heat pipes in oil well pumping system
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The sucker rod pumping system is the preferred oil extraction technique. The concept about equipping the hollow vacuum space in solid sucker rods with heat pipe has been scrutinized in terms of stress and oil production evaluation. Abstract The implementation of the heat pipe concept in sucker rods for oil pumping systems negates the requirement for an
