The petrophysical analysis of the early Eocene Sui Main Limestone (SML) has been conducted in Kharnhak-1 well for the prospect of the hydrocarbon exploration of the Khairpur-Jacobabad High, Middle Indus Basin, Pakistan. The petrophysical analysis of SML is carried out on the basis of well logs including gamma ray, spontaneous potential, resistivity, neutron, and density logs. These analyses lead to interpreting the vertical distribution of porosity and permeability in order to measure the reservoir potential of the SML. The Archie equation was used to assess the petrophysical characteristics. The SML has good porosity and poor permeability with positive correlation coefficient between the two parameters. The average volume of shale is 18%. The log signature of SML shows dominance of carbonates (limestone). The reservoir quality of the SML in Kharnhak-1 well is such that it is 77% water saturated. The porosity (x) varies inversely with formation resistivity factor (F) and compressional wave velocity (Vp). However, F and Vp are directly related with each other. Thus, the electric and elastic properties of the carbonate rocks can be influenced by postdepositional alterations, which include porosity enhancement and reduction processes respectively.

The unwanted addition of salt to drilling causes flocculation which has an adverse effect on mud rheological properties. To treat the flocculated mud chemical, deflocculants are commonly used; however, their disadvantages such as negative environmental effects, lower tolerance to contamination, and toxicity motivated scientists to search for effective additives. Using plant derived additives instead of commercial additives could help resolve the mentioned weaknesses, because they are nontoxic, cheap, easily accessible, and act multi-functional. In this paper the effect of black myrobalan rheological properties of flocculated bentonite mud was investigated and its performance was compared with chrome lignosulfonate (CLS). Rheological and filtration tests were conducted and properties such as plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength, thixotropy, and apparent viscosity were calculated. It was perceived that by increasing black myrobalan concentration to 0.6 wt.%, rheological parameters and filtration loss decreased by 50% and 66.3% respectively, but they increased at higher concentrations, which indicated that black myrobalan acted as a deflocculant up to 0.6 wt.%. The deflocculation behavior of black myrobalan at low concentrations is attributed to ellagitannic acid and tannic acid. The comparison of the enactment of black myrobalan with chrome lignosulfonate showed that black myrobalan had a stronger decreasing effect on the rheological parameters and filtration compared to CLS.

The specific objective of this paper is to develop a fully implicit compositional simulator for modeling asphaltene deposition during natural depletion. In this study, a mathematical model for asphaltene deposition modeling is presented followed by the solution approach using the fully implicit scheme. A thermodynamic model for asphaltene precipitation and the numerical methods for performing flash calculation with a solid phase are described. The pure solid model is used to model asphaltene precipitation. The transformation of precipitated solid into flocculated solid is modeled by using a first order chemical reaction. Adsorption, pore throat plugging, and re-entrainment were considered in the deposition model. The simulator has the capability of predicting formation damage including porosity and permeability reduction in each block. A new set of independent unknowns in a fully implicit scheme is presented for asphaltene deposition modeling. In order to find the solution of these variables, the same number of equations is also presented. The description of how to solve the nonlinear system of equations is also described.

In the present work, the exergy analysis and economic study of 3 different samples of threecomponent mixtures have been investigated (ESI>1, ESI≈1, and ESI<1). The feed mixture has been tested under three different compositions (low, equal, and high contents of the intermediate component). A quantitative comparison between simple and complex configurations, considering thermally coupled, thermodynamically equivalent, and divided-wall column (DWC) has been carried out. The results present that the best sequence could be found by TAC or exergy loss rate analysis. Complex sequences have greater exergy losses in comparison to simple sequences. Despite expectations, the Petlyuk sequence only performs well in a few cases and poorly on others. According to the results, as the amount of intermediate component in the feed increases, both TAC and exergy losses of each sequence increase. The results also demonstrated that the occurrence frequency as the best sequence for DWC, thermodynamically equivalent, thermally coupled, and basic sequences are 36%, 28%, 25%, and 11% respectively. According to authors’ best knowledge, a quantitative exergy and cost comparison (based on rigorous simulation and optimization) between these configurations have never been carried out all together before.

The hydroisomerization of pure n-pentane over H-mordenite supported Pt-catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed reactor by changing reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure, and WHSV, as well as the H2/HC ratio. The maximum yield of isopentane over Pt/mordenite catalyst was achieved at 220 °C and a relatively low reaction pressure. To address the effect of feed composition on the catalytic performance of the samples, the catalysts were assessed for activity and selectivity in the isomerization of a mixture consisting of n-pentane (70 wt.%) and isopentane (30 wt.%) at 220 °C. The effects of pressure, WHSV, and H2/HC ratio on the catalyst performance were also studied using binary mixtures of the pentane isomers as a feedstock. It was observed that an effect of WHSV and H2/HC on the catalytic performance was similar to its behavior in pure n-pentane isomerization, while the conversion of n-pentane in the binary mixture showed a different trend and had a minimum value at 1.5 bar. It could be due to the presence of isopentane in feed and adsorption phenomenon of binary mixture on mordenite-supported catalyst.

In this study, nanocomposite coatings based on polyurethane cerium nitrate montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared, applied on carbon steel substrates, and investigated. The nanocomposite coatings were successfully prepared by the effective dispersing of nanoparticles in polyurethane resin by mechanical and sonication processes. The state of dispersion, dissolution, and incorporation were characterized by optical microscopy, sedimentation tests, and transmission electron microscopy. The structure and properties of the nanocomposite coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction and anticorrosive properties of the nanocomposites were studied by Tafel polarization measurements. The experimental results showed that the PU/MMT/Cerium nitrate nanocomposite coatings were superior to the neat PU in corrosion protection. In addition, it was observed that the corrosion protection of the nanocomposite coatings was improved as the clay and cerium nitrate loadings were increased to 4 wt.% to 2 wt.% respectively.
