Synthesis, Characterization, and Performance Evaluation of Nanocrystalline Metal Oxides for Shale Inhibition in Water-Based Drilling Fluids

Sustainable Chemistry
Water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) are widely used due to their economic and environmental advantages; however, shale hydration remains a major limitation.

Optimising the biopiling of weathered hydrocarbons within a risk management framework - PROMISE. [PDF]

, 2005
Thirty years of research into petroleum microbiology and bioremediation have bypassed an important observation – that many hydrocarbon contaminated sites posing potential risks to human health harbour weathered, ‘mid-distillate’ or heavy oils (Pollard,

Co-acclimation of bacterial communities under stresses of hydrocarbons with different structures [PDF]

, 2016
Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with different structures; its components vary in bioavailability and toxicity. It is important to understand how bacterial communities response to different hydrocarbons and their co-acclimation in the ...

Polymorph‐Specific Electronic Transduction in WO3 during Molecular Sensing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐oxide polymorphs with similar surface chemistry can nevertheless exhibit distinct sensing properties. In γ‐ and ε‐WO3, analyte adsorption appears comparable; yet, only ε‐WO3 induces a pronounced lattice electronic perturbation that accommodates charge in sub‐conduction band minimum states.

Microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons: Technology and mechanism

, 2019
The petrochemical industry has received considerable attention from many sectors in our society. Petroleum spill has been frequently reported due to the lack of appropriate protocols during exploration, refining, transportation, and storage.

One‐Dimensional Materials Supported in Two‐Dimensional Van der Waals Metal–Organic Frameworks with Optical Anisotropy Switching via Twist‐Engineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a molecular strategy to assemble one‐dimensional (1D) materials into two‐dimensional (2D) van der Waals metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Crystals of [FeX(pzX)(bpy)] (X = Cl, F) form anisotropic 2D layers that can be mechanically exfoliated into thin sheets.

Probabilistic prediction of permeability damage in waterflooding using gaussian process regression

International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering
Waterflooding represents one of the most extensively employed techniques for secondary oil recovery, where water is injected into reservoirs to displace oil toward production wells and enhance hydrocarbon recovery.
