Compatibility Assessment of Crude Oil Blends Using Different Methods
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017 Today, opportunity crude oils and their blends have attracted the attention of oil companies looking to increase their cross refinery margin. However, when crude oils are blended in the wrong proportions or even the wrong order, they can precipitate ...

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.

Resonance‐induced restoration of rock permeability degraded by heavy components of crude oil
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Resonance‐induced changes occur in filtration properties of sedimentary rocks in crude paraffin oil flow under acoustic vibrations. Experimental data on (a) pressure drop; (b) permeability; (c) pressure at the rock inlet; and (d) pressure at the rock outlet are presented.

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
