CO2 removal from contaminated natural gas mixtures by hydrate formation / Mark van Denderen in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 12 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N° 12 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 5802–5807 Titre : CO2 removal from contaminated natural gas mixtures by hydrate formation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark van Denderen, Auteur ; Erik Ineke, Auteur ; Michael Golombok, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 5802–5807 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gas  hydrates  Methane/CO2  mixtures Résumé : We analyzed the formation rates of gas hydrates from methane/CO2 mixtures associated with contaminated well gas streams, which results in a methane-enriched gas product. The initial pressure affects both the final clean gas composition and the time taken to achieve it. Although promoters have been described, we note that this term often refers to interstitial materials that stabilize equilibrium hydrate structures rather than classical chemical rate promoters (i.e., catalysts). We also show that previously reported hydrate rate improvers are irrelevant for commercial purposes because they merely overcome inadequate mixing systems. We identify the key process requiring rate acceleration and show the potential for reducing the time for this process to make selective CO2 hydrate formation commercially attractive. We also examine the effect of salinity on the selective formation of CO2 hydrates. The phase boundary pressures increase with increasing salt concentration, and the rate of formation decreases. Formation times are on the order of 1 h, so catalysts are required to make this process commercially viable.

Parameters for assessing oil reservoir water flooding additives / Nico Reuvers in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 131 N° 3 (Mars 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 131 N° 3 (Mars 2009) . - 06 p. Titre : Parameters for assessing oil reservoir water flooding additives Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nico Reuvers, Auteur ; Michael Golombok, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 06 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : fluid  additives;  water  flooding;  oil  reservoir Résumé : This paper is concerned with deriving parameters for assessing the effectiveness of fluid additives to improve water flooding during enhanced oil recovery. We focus particularly on the use of rheological modifiers, which do not show monotonic behavior with the shear rate within the rock pores. We derive figures of merit based on (1) relative retardation in high and low permeability rock, (2) profile flattening, and (3) injectivity index. Only the last of these provides a measure of water flood profile improvement while maintaining sufficient fluid flow and production levels.
