Globally, the oil and gas industry produces a large volume of waste in the form of produced
water, oil sludge, and flue gases that can pose a negative impact on environment. As such …

The scarcity of clean water sources has become a global concern in the present-day society.
This has driven to the extraction of fresh water from produced water (PW), from the oil and …

Imbibition has been proposed as an important means by which to recover oil from low
permeability reservoirs. However, the mechanism of imbibition enhanced oil recovery …

In this study, the recent advances in standalone membrane technologies were investigated
for produced water treatment and reclamation. The effect of operating parameters (ie …

Produced water is the largest wastewater generated in oil and gas industry and its handling
has become a significant issue of environmental concern. Due to its massive production, it …

One of the largest wastewater flows generated in the oil and gas industry is produced water
(PW), which can come from oil fields, gas fields or a combination of oil and gas fields. This …

Shale gas, as an important unconventional natural gas resource, is the main force to
increase natural gas reserves and production in the future. For shale gas with huge …

One of the main challenges for the implementation of electrocoagulation (EC) in water
treatment are fouling and passivation of the electrodes, especially for applications with high …

Traditionally, production optimization is performed based on repeatedly running a full-scale
reservoir simulation model, which is quite time-consuming. Recently, we developed a …
