Sonic log analysis in oil wells through Box and Jenkins methodology
The sonic profile is used, mainly in exploration wells, which receive greater investment in data acquisition because these wells serve as a reference for analyzing the petroleum potential of the area. The sonic profile was introduced in the 50s, with the goal of providing support for seismic exploration, and subsequently became extensively used for studies on total porosity of the rocks traversed by the well. This paper...

Microbial enhanced oil recovery using potent biosurfactant produced by Pseudomonas sp. from Arabian Sea, Mumbai
Increase in oil pollution due to accidental leakages during various ship operations and human activities make these hydrocarbons the most common global environmental pollutants. Current understanding in degradation of these harmful oils involves the isolation of biosurfactants from various isolated microbial strains from contaminated sites of Marine Sea. Biosurfactants are the surface active molecules synthesized by...

A new simulator for surfactant flooding
Surfactant as a successful enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agent has been widely used in many mature reservoirs. This research focuses on the description of surfactant solution at low permeability condition. A new three-dimensional, two-phase, three-component surfactant simulator is presented. The simulator is based on the non-Darcy flow characteristics of surfactant flooding in the low permeability formations. The change...
