Behzad Orangii; Mohammad Ali Riahi

Volume 10, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 107-119

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2021.278551.1588

Abstract
  This paper investigates the role of the adequate thickness of the Asmari reservoir formation zones on oil production in one of the Iranian carbonate oil fields. Adequate thickness is a term that includes the total gross thickness of rocks by lithofacies for a selected wellbore. The lithology of the Asmari ...  Read More

A Numerical Simulation Study on the Kinetics of Asphaltene Particle Flocculation in a Two-dimensional Shear Flow

Hadi Bagherzadeh; Zahra Mansourpour; Bahram Dabir

Volume 8, Issue 2 , April 2019, , Pages 53-72

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2018.142463.1468

Abstract
  In the current study, the kinetics of asphaltene particle flocculation is investigated under a shear flow through numerical simulation. The discrete element method (DEM) is coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the agglomeration and fragmentation processes. In addition, a coalescence ...  Read More

An Experimental Study of Acid Diversion by Using Gelled Acid Systems Based on Viscoelastic Surfactants: A Case Study on One of Iran Southwest Oilfields

Abdorrahman Mehri Ghahfarrokhi; Ezzatollah Kazemzadeh; Hassan Shokrollahzadeh Behbahani; Gholam Abbas Safian

Volume 8, Issue 1 , January 2019, , Pages 32-46

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2018.139168.1464

Abstract
  In matrix acidizing operations, the main goal is increasing permeability. For production engineers, it is desirable that acid could be injected into whole [M.N.1] [amehri.gh2] pay zone. Sometimes, this pay zone has a long height and various sub-layers which have different permeability values. ...  Read More
