The particle surface characteristics of oil shale and the changes in these characteristics with increasing fineness were determined. FTIR and electro-kinetic studies showed that the surfaces of oil shale particle were controlled by oxygen-rich polar groups. FTIR and XPS studies showed that with increasing fineness the polar oxides decreased and organic surface groups increased at grind sizes finer than 100 microns. Flotation was used to view the impact of the changes in surface characteristics on oil shale beneficiation. Formation of an organic surface layer affected separation adversely and selectivity between organic and inorganic entities could not be achieved below 100 microns. Zeta potential values and flotation tests with bitumen-extracted oil shale confirmed that bitumen release generates the organic surface coating. The organic layer shifts the native hydrophilicity of oil shale to hydrophobic state. Findings imply that determination of a certain grind size is critical to avoid bitumen release and to maintain selectivity between organic and inorganic constituents during oil shale beneficiation.

Sensitivity Analysis of Major Drilling Parameters on Cuttings Transport during Drilling Highly-inclined Wells
Ozbayoglu, E. M.; Miska, S. Z.; Takach, N.; Reed, T. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a layered cuttings transport model is developed for high-angle and horizontal wells, which can be used for incompressible non-Newtonian fluids as well as compressible non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., foams). The effects of major drilling parameters, such as flow rate, rate of penetration, fluid density, viscosity, gas ratio, cuttings size, cuttings density, wellbore inclination and eccentricity of the drillsting on cuttings transport efficiency are analyzed. The major findings from this study are,...
Experimental and Numerical Simulation of Oil Recovery from Oil Shales by Electrical Heating
Hascakir, Bema; Babadagli, Tayfun; Akın, Serhat (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008-11-01)
The recovery characteristics of four different oil shale samples were tested experimentally using the retort technique. To accomplish efficient temperature distribution, the thermal conductivity of the oil shale samples was increased by the addition of three different iron powders. The doses of iron powders were optimized for each oil shale sample based on the highest oil production value experimentally. The experiments were then modeled using the electrical heating option of a commercial reservoir simulato...
Thermal characterization of crude oils by pressurized differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC)
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
In this research, pressurized differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) were used to estimate the thermal and kinetic behaviour of two different crude oils from Tatarstan oil fields under three different pressures (100, 600, 2000 kPa) at a constant heating rate (10 degrees C/min). The heat flow curves of both crude oils indicated two reaction regions known as low temperature oxidation (LTO) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). The reaction intervals were shifted to lower temperature regions with the increas...
Determination of wettability and its effect on waterflood performance in limestone medium
Karabakal, U (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-03-01)
Wettability measurement methods, the effect of wettability on fluid distribution, and fluid flow in porous media were discussed, and the influence of rock wettability on the relative permeability and recovery of oil by waterflooding were investigated. Experimental studies were conducted on a total of 23 core plugs from two different limestone formations. Synthetic brine (NaCl solution) and mineral oil, which has a viscosity ratio of similar to10, were used as the test fluids. Core samples, saturated with sy...
Change of physical and thermal decomposition properties of in situ heavy oil with steam temperature
Karacan, CO; Okandan, E (Informa UK Limited, 1997-01-01)
Ikiztepe crude oil was subjected to four different steam temperatures during steam injection which was applied as an enhanced oil recovery process on a linear limestone model saturated with oil. Produced oils were characterized using density, viscosity measurements, pyrolysis experiments utilizing TGA and elemental analysis runs. Results showed that produced crude oils change in measured characteristics as compared to the original oil. These changes include an increase in H/C, and cracking activation energy...
