Most coal seams are characterized by an anisotropic network of cleat system in which continuous face cleats have much more permeability than discontinuous butt cleats. In hydraulically fractured and anisotropic CBM reservoirs, pressure propagation and resulting drainage area is in elliptical geometry. The determination of optimal well pattern and well spacing in such a system is the key parameter for higher well productivity and optimized CBM field development plan. In this study, well pattern and well spacing in anisotropic CBM reservoirs with fractured wells are optimized based on the concept of balanced depressurization which is assumed that the reservoir pressure should be declined uniformly in all directions of drainage area. The mathematical relationship for optimal well spacing is first developed and is verified by numerical simulation. It is concluded that, based on the requirement of balanced depressurization, the rectangular or diamond shaped pattern is the best pattern for hydraulically-fractured anisotropic coal seams, and the optimal well spacing is determined by both permeability ratio and hydraulic fracture length. Furthermore, a procedure for optimization of CBM well pattern and spacing is presented for making development strategy. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Effect of incorporated hybrid MIL-53(Al) and MWCNT into PES membrane for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 separation

Mohammad Saeid Rostami, Mohammad Mehdi Khodaei

Summary: In this study, a hybrid structure, MIL-53(Al)@MWCNT, was synthesized by combining MIL-53(Al) particles and -COOH functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). The hybrid structure was then embedded in a polyethersulfone (PES) polymer matrix to prepare a mixed matrix membrane (MMM) for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 separation. The addition of MWCNTs prevented MIL-53(Al) aggregation, improved membrane mechanical properties, and enhanced gas separation efficiency.

Morteza Afkhamipour, Ebad Seifi, Arash Esmaeili, Mohammad Shamsi, Tohid N. Borhani

Summary: Non-conventional amines are being researched worldwide to overcome the limitations of traditional amines like MEA and MDEA. Adequate process and thermodynamic models are crucial for understanding the applicability and performance of these amines in CO2 absorption, but studies on process modeling for these amines are limited. This study used rate-based modeling and Deshmukh-Mather method to model CO2 absorption by DETA solution in a packed column, validated the model with experimental data, and conducted a sensitivity analysis of mass transfer correlations. The study also compared the CO2 absorption efficiency of DETA solution with an ionic solvent [bmim]-[PF6] and highlighted the importance of finding optimum operational parameters for maximum absorption efficiency.

Interfacial tension of smart water and various crude oils

Arastoo Abdi, Mohamad Awarke, M. Reza Malayeri, Masoud Riazi

Summary: The utilization of smart water in EOR operations has gained attention, but more research is needed to understand the complex mechanisms involved. This study investigated the interfacial tension between smart water and crude oil, considering factors such as salt, pH, asphaltene type, and aged smart water. The results revealed that the hydration of ions in smart water plays a key role in its efficacy, with acidic and basic asphaltene acting as intrinsic surfactants. The pH also influenced the interfacial tension, and the aged smart water's interaction with crude oil depended on asphaltene type, salt, and salinity.

Zonghui Liu, Zhongze Zhang, Yali Zhou, Ziling Wang, Mingyang Du, Zhe Wen, Bing Yan, Qingxiang Ma, Na Liu, Bing Xue

Summary: In this study, high-performance solid catalysts based on phosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on Zr-SBA-15 were synthesized and evaluated for the one-pot conversion of furfural (FUR) to γ-valerolactone (GVL). The catalysts were characterized using various techniques, and the ratio of HPW and Zr was found to significantly affect the selectivity of GVL. The HPW/Zr-SBA-15 (2-4-15) catalyst exhibited the highest GVL yield (83%) under optimized reaction conditions, and it was determined that a balance between Bronsted acid sites (BAS) and Lewis acid sites (LAS) was crucial for achieving higher catalytic performance. The reaction parameters and catalyst stability were also investigated.
