Finite Element Analysis of Steel Plates with Rectangular Openings Subjected to Axial Stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Steel plates with openings are among the important ship structural components used in the ship’s hull to withstand the hydrostatic forces of the ocean, which cause sagging and hogging moments at the ship’s bottom. The ... -
Investigating the PS seismic imaging of faults using seismic modelling and data from the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)PS seismic data from the Snøhvit field are compared with seismic modelling to understand the effect of azimuthal separation and incidence angle on the imaging of faults and associated horizon discontinuities. In addition, ... -
Reliability and Performance of Vinyl Lactam-Based Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitor Polymers after Treatment under a Range of Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Well-known kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) such as poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCap), poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), and 1:1 N-vinylcaprolactam:N-vinylpyrrolidone (VCap:VP) copolymer have been subjected to a range of ... -
Bridging performances of lost circulation materials (LC-LUBE and mica) and their blending in 80/20 and 60/40 oil-based drilling fluids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In drilling wells, lost circulation, barite sagging, shale swelling, and formation damage are critical problems for the industry. These problems can be controlled by designing appropriate drilling fluids and lost circulation ... -
Enabling Increased Delithiation Rates in Silicon-Based Anodes through Alloying with Phosphorus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The capability of battery materials to deliver not only high lithium storage capacity, but also the ability to operate at high charge/discharge rates is an essential property for development of new batteries. In the present ... -
Quantifying the effect of color processing on blood and damaged tissue detection in Whole Slide Images
(Chapter, 2022)Histological tissue examination has been a longstanding practice for cancer diagnosis where pathologists identify the presence of tumors on glass slides. Slides acquired from laboratory routine may contain unintentional ... -
Phosphonated Lower-Molecular-Weight Polyethyleneimines as Oilfield Scale Inhibitors: An Experimental and Theoretical Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)For many years, amino methylenephosphonate (-CH2-N-PO3H2)-based scale inhibitors (SIs) have been deployed for preventing various scales in the oil and gas industry, particularly for squeeze treatment applications. However, ... -
Can methane pyrolysis based hydrogen production lead to the decarbonisation of iron and steel industry ?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Decarbonisation of the iron and steel industry would require the use of innovative low-carbon production technologies. Use of 100% hydrogen in a shaft furnace (SF) to reduce iron ore has the potential to reduce emissions ... -
Multi-functional oilfield production chemicals: maleic-based polymers for gas hydrate and corrosion inhibition
