A Critical Review of Wettability Alteration of Retrograde Gas Condensate Reservoirs Using Nanoparticles [PDF]
Condensate and liquid blockage is a serious problem in gas condensate reservoirs as it reduces gas production. There are many methods to solve this problem, however, most of them are temporary or expensive.

Computational study of reservoir sand production mechanisms [PDF]
A numerical model is developed to simulate fluid flow conditions around a wellbore and to evaluate mechanisms governing fluid flow, pressure gradients, rock failure and the ensuing sand production.

PROBLEMS OF WELLS OPERATION IN CENOMANIAN DEPOSITS
It is shown that Upper Cenomanian deposits are considered among the main productive formations for development for gas production. These deposits are presented by poor cemented reservoirs.

Mechanisms of Surviving Burial: Dune Grass Interspecific Differences Drive Resource Allocation After Sand Deposition [PDF]
Sand dunes are important geomorphic formations of coastal ecosystems that are critical in protecting human populations that live in coastal areas. Dune formation is driven by ecomorphodynamic interactions between vegetation and sediment deposition. While

Micromechanical analysis of sand production [PDF]
SummaryWe present a micromechanical approach based on zero‐thickness interface elements for modelling advanced localization and cracking states of cemented granular materials, such as reservoir sandstones. The proposed methodology is capable of reproducing the complex behaviour of intergranular and intragranular localization, cracking, and fracturing ...

Mapping erosion-corrosion of carbon steel in oil exploration conditions : some new approaches to characterizing mechanisms and synergies [PDF]
Erosion by solid particles in oil/water slurries is a technologically important area. In such conditions, it is necessary to distinguish between the effects of the sand, aqueous environment, and the oil.

Biorock Electric Reefs Grow Back Severely Eroded Beaches in Months
Severely eroded beaches on low lying islands in Indonesia were grown back in a few months—believed to be a record—using an innovative method of shore protection, Biorock electric reef technology.

Particulate Modeling of Sand Production Using Coupled DEM-LBM
Sand production is a complex phenomenon caused by the erosion of borehole walls during the extraction of hydrocarbons. In this paper, the sanding process in a typical Thick-Walled Hollow Cylinder (TWHC) test is numerically simulated.
