    Abstract: Emulsion is the mixture of two immiscible liquid (water and oil) that found themselves together under agitation and turbulence in the presence of emulsifying agents like resins, fines, paraffins, sand etc. Crude oil emulsion is one of the major challenges in petroleum production and processing operations in the oil and gas industry. Several methods... Show More

    Abstract: Liquid loading in gas condensate wells drastically lowers gas production and increases operating expenses if unmanaged. The traditional empirical model often has difficulty representing the complex behaviours of multiphase flow and typically rely solely on historical data. In contrast, this study introduces a novel machine learning approach using a... Show More

    Abstract: Sand production poses a major challenge in wells completed within sandstone reservoirs, despite their inherent benefits. It could lead to erosion of surface and subsurface equipment, well plugging from sand grain deposition and accumulation, and potential collapse of sections in horizontal wells, resulting in non-productive time, costly cleanup, an...

    Abstract: Microbial isolates RPG14, RPG18, and RPG20, selected after a screening test, were subjected to optimization of physicochemical and nutritional parameters. Subsequently, a 3-liter extraction for each culture medium was initiated. The optimal yields after 20 days of incubation were 68.62 g/l for RPG14, 60.42 g/l for RPG18, and 69.85 g/l for RPG20. Fi...
