Analysis of a Costly Fiberglass-Polyester Air Filter Fire
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In September 2020, a fire at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the Arctic areas of Norway received national attention. In an unengaged air intake, the heat exchanger designed to prevent ice damage during production ... -
Enabling Large-Scale Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) Using Offshore Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Infrastructure Developments - A Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Presently, the only offshore project for enhanced oil recovery using carbon dioxide, known as CO2-EOR, is in Brazil. Several desk studies have been undertaken, without any projects being implemented. The objective of this ... -
Enthalpies of Hydrate Formation and Dissociation from Residual Thermodynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-11)We have proposed a consistent thermodynamic scheme for evaluation of enthalpy changes of hydrate phase transitions based on residual thermodynamics. This entails obtaining every hydrate property such as gas hydrate ... -
Hydrate Plugging and Flow Remediation during CO2 Injection in Sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Successful geological sequestration of carbon depends strongly on reservoir seal integrity and storage capacity, including CO2 injection efficiency. Formation of solid hydrates in the near-wellbore area during CO2 injection ... -
Hydrate Production Philosophy and Thermodynamic Calculations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The amount of energy in the form of natural gas hydrates is huge and likely substantially more than twice the amount of worldwide conventional fossil fuel. Various ways to produce these hydrates have been proposed over the ... -
Influence of Acetone and Sodium Chloride Additives on Cooling Efficiency of Water Droplets Impinging onto Hot Metal Surfaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-19)In the present work, the cooling efficiency of water droplets falling onto hot aluminum and stainless steel discs from heights of 12.5 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm, corresponding to speeds of 1.5 m/s, 2.2 m/s, 3.1 m/s and ... -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Methane Hydrate Formation and Dissociation in Sandstone with Dual Water Saturation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-22)This paper reports formation and dissociation patterns of methane hydrate in sandstone. Magnetic resonance imaging spatially resolved hydrate growth patterns and liberation of water during dissociation. A stacked core ... -
Pressure Measurements for Monitoring CO2 Foam Pilots
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This study focuses on the use of pressure measurements to monitor the effectiveness of foam as a CO2 mobility control agent in oil-producing reservoirs. When it is applied optimally, foam has excellent potential to improve ... -
Single-Cell Tests to Explore the Reliability of Sofc Installations Operating Offshore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper studies the robustness of off-shore solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) installations and the nature and causes of possible cell degradation in marine environments. Two important, cathode-related, impediments to ensuring ... -
Unsteady-State CO2 Foam Generation and Propagation: Laboratory and Field Insights
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-07)This work presents a multiscale experimental and numerical investigation of CO2 foam generation, strength, and propagation during alternating injection of surfactant solution and CO2 at reservoir conditions. Evaluations ... -
Why should we use residual thermodynamics for calculation of hydrate phase transitions?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The formation of natural gas hydrates during processing and transport of natural has historically been one of the motivations for research on hydrates. In recent years, there has been much focus on the use of hydrate as a ...
