Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2022, Pages 1-22

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2022.337958.1636

Abstract
  Column final tests face new challenges, and in addition to casing burst/collapse limitations, buckling occurrence creates serious problems. In case of a slight gap between mud and slurry densities, buckling initiation is inevitable. Casing elongation, bending, and buckling are detailed to define column ...  Read More

Seyed Reza Shadizadeh; Amin Derakhshan

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2022, Pages 23-36

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2022.314474.1617

Abstract
  Oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate rock is a significant challenge in the oil industry. The present study investigates the influence of the natural surfactant Hawthorn leaves extract (HLE) on oil recovery from carbonate rock. Two chemical surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dodecyl tri methyl ...  Read More

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2022, Pages 37-51

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2022.336808.1635

Abstract
  In this study, the hydrocarbon potential and depositional environments of the Coniacian Laffan formation were investigated in the Binak oilfield, SW Iran. With an average thickness of 80 m, the Laffan formation consists mainly of gray shales and thin argillaceous limestones in the study area. In order ...  Read More

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2022, Pages 52-66

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2022.346128.1645

Abstract
  A successful drilling operation requires an effective drilling fluid system. The aim of this work is to provide an effective solution for improving the rheological and filtration properties of water-based drilling fluid by using CuO nanofluid additive. CuO nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal ...  Read More
