In this study three Turkish bentonites (Samas, Canbensan and Ceylan) were tested for their potential use in drilling fluids. The drilling-mud quality of the bentonites from Canbensan and Ceylan were significantly improved with some additives such as salts (Na2CO3, Na2SO4, AI(2)(SO4)(3)), gypsum, high molecular weight polymers, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Salts were found not to be as effective as polymeric materials for this purpose.

Enhancement of flotation performance of oil shale cleaning by ultrasonic treatment Altun, Naci Emre; Hicyilmaz, Cahit (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-16) In this study, it was attempted to enhance the performance of flotation cleaning of oil shales by use of ultrasound. The use of an excitation effect through ultrasonication was investigated towards inorganic particles that remain clogged in pores/voids or attached as surface coatings. Ultrasonic treatment was applied prior to flotation at different ultrasonic power levels and for different ultrasonication periods. Ultrasonic treatment proved to be useful in improving the extent of ash rejection. After ultra...
Geotechnical characterization and performance assessment of bentonite/sand mixtures for underground waste repository sealing Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2010-08-01) The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a bentonite/sand mixture for the sealing of underground waste repositories through performing geotechnical laboratory tests such as compaction and flow tests. Swelling, mechanical and shear strength tests along with analyses of seal/rock mechanical interactions of an axially loaded seal in rock have been conducted to recommend an optimum compacted bentonite/sand mixture and a suitable bentonite/sand seal length-to-radius ratio (L/a) as a function o...
Helium-carbon relationships in geothermal fluids of western Anatolia, Turkey Mutlu, Halim; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Hilton, David R. (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-15) We investigate the helium, carbon and oxygen-hydrogen isotopic systematics and CO(2)/(3)He ratios of 8 water and 6 gas samples collected from 12 geothermal fields in western Anatolia (Turkey). (3)He/(4)He ratios of the samples (R) normalized to the atmospheric (3)He/(4)He ratio (R(A) = 1.39 x 10(-6)) range from 0.27 to 1.67 and are significantly higher than the crustal production value of 0.05. Fluids with relatively high R/R(A) values are generally found in areas of significant heat potential (Kizildere an...
EFFECT OF PHENOL AND RESORCINOL ON LEACHING OF ILMENITE WITH HCL-CH3OH AND HCL-C2H5OH SOLUTIONS GIRGIN, I; Türker, Burhan Lemi; GOODALL, D (Elsevier BV, 1991-07-01) The effects of phenols on hydrochloric acid leaching of metal oxides is investigated theoretically. A mathematical model is developed for the early stages of leaching assuming that steady state conditions and Fick's first law are valid for the formation and diffusion of metal cations through the Helmholtz-Stern interface. It is found theoretically that the leaching rate is exponentially proportional to acid and phenol concentrations and any metal-phenol complex which can be decomposed by chloride ions shoul...
Assessment of reservoir rock and fluid data for Black Oil Simulation – a case study Susuz, Onur; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2009) Reservoir simulation studies are one of the key tools in an integrated reservoir management study. A successful reservoir simulation application requires representative input data for reservoir rock and fluid properties. This study aims to develop a road map from laboratory measurements to the input data file of reservoir simulation and to make a probabilistic approach for the estimation of unknown parameters. Raw data of reservoir rock and fluid properties of a selected oil field of Turkey will be interpre...
