The oxidation of fossil fuels produces billions of tons of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2)
emissions from stationary and nonstationary sources per annum, contributing to global …

Today, bi-reforming of methane is considered as an emerging replacement for the
generation of high-grade synthesis gas (H 2: CO= 2.0), and also as an encouraging …

Wellbore stability in shale is a recurring crisis during oil and gas well drilling. The adsorption
of water and ions from drilling fluid by shale, which causes clay swelling, is the primary …

Water-based mud (WBM) is an environmentally acceptable drilling fluid. However, it makes
shale to be prone to swelling owing to its interaction with active clays. Shale swelling makes …

Nanoparticles are used in various nano-energy applications such as wettability shift of
hydrophobic surfaces to hydrophilic surfaces in oil-brine-mineral systems and interfacial …

The usage of nanofluids is vast in different applications of nano-energy. These minute
nanoparticles can be used to alter the hydrophobicity into hydrophilicity for CO 2-brine …

A novel tailor-made TiO 2 nanoparticles-bentonite (TNBT) nanocomposite-enhanced drilling
mud was tested. The drilling mud showed excellent performance;(i) lubricity was …

New nanotechnology-based approaches are increasingly being investigated for enhanced
oil recovery (EOR), with a particular focus on heavy oil reservoirs. Typically, the addition of a …

Water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs), a more environment-friendly candidate than oil-based
are widely used for drilling oil and gas wells. However, wellbore instability due to active clay …

The worldwide demand of energy sources is increasing day by day. The trend of growing
interest on renewable products is also increasing widely. Regardless of the advances of …
