System architecture of offshore oil production systems
… commercial systems, particularly offshore oil and gas productions systems. The aim of this research was to assist BP in the development of concepts for a multi-billion dollar oil production system, particularly in the unprecedented deep water arctic locations prone to seismic activity, as …

Cold heavy oil production using CO2-EOR technique.
… study using the CO2-EOR technique to enable production from an offshore heavy oil field, named here as Omega, which is located offshore West Africa at a water depth around 2000 m. The findings and contributions to knowledge are outlined as follows: 1. Long distance CO2 transportation offshore …

Monitoring of oil-production-induced subsidence and uplift
… Examples of the damages of the infrastructure in oil and gas fields due to production make clear the need to monitor processes in the field. Land surface deformation is one method that can yield insights into geodynamic processes. Knowledge of the processes can lead to mitigation approaches. This …

Catalytic pyrolysis of agricultural residues for bio-oil production
… plants, were employed as raw materials for bio-oil production via fast pyrolysis technology. There were two main objectives of this project. The first one was to determine the optimum pyrolysis temperature for maximising the organics yield and to investigate the properties of the bio-oils …

Optimizing oil production in horizontal wells (water/oil cresting in horizontal wells)
… Cresting poses problems such as uneconomic oil production rates due to increasing volumes of effluent(s) (unwanted water and or gas) produced with oil over time as well as the overall recovery efficiency of oil reservoirs. Production optimization from crest-affected thick- and thin-oil rim …

Why Oil Production has a Negative Impact on Socioeconomic Development in Chad?
"Oil production in Chad is considered one of the most important Sub-Saharan investments in Africa. In 2000, the World Bank agreed to finance oil production under the condition that oil revenues would be invested in socioeconomic development projects. Furthermore, the World Bank emphasized that oil …

The Impact of Oil Production and Consumption on the Balance of Power
… examines how states can exercise power through oil. What kind of balancing strategies they use to maintain or improve their power. I use quantitative data and the case studies of USA, Japan and USSR/Russia to research the question. - The novelty of my research is enhanced by the international …

Stimulation of Western Australian Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) oil production using multiple treatments [thesis]
… commodity, recognised for its aromatic oil which is a key ingredient in many fragrances and cosmetics. Western Australian (WA) sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) is known to be a cheaper alternative for the superior Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) as it has a lower oil content and lower …

A novel framework for acoustic diagnostic of artificial lift system for oil-production
Oil extraction on many reservoirs requires the use of rod pump systems to pump the fluid to the surface. A longstanding challenging issue in the operation of rod-pump system is the ability to determine the downhole pump conditions based on the knowledge of a finite set of measurables at the top. A …

Exploring volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a novel substrate for microbial oil production
Cost effective production of biofuels depends critically on feedstock cost and availability. As such, volatile fatty acids (VFAs) can play an important role in advancing sustainable biofuel production since they can be derived from low cost feedstock including gases and municipal solid waste. To …

The development and evaluation of engineering strategies to enhance microbial oil production for industrial applications
Over the last few decades, microbial oils have gained the attention of researchers worldwide for their potential as sustainable and renewable alternatives to current oil sources. The extensive research into these microorganisms has discovered that microbial oil production offers multiple advantages …

Experiment Study of Non-Equilibrium Phase Behavior and Effect of External Vibration on Heavy Oil Production
In this thesis, two types of heavy oil experiments were explored to study the heavy oil non-equilibrium phase behavior and the influence of external vibration on heavy oil production performance. The first experiment was to use a Constant Composition Expansion and Compression (CCEC) tests to …

A Correlational Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Behavior-Based Safety in an Offshore Oil Production Facility
For many countries, oil production constitutes a large part of their economic resources. It is also one of the most hazardous activities with high incident rates. Workplace safety has remained a challenge for these industries which strive to operate injury free. Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is used …
