Effects of externally applied stress on multiphase flow characteristics in naturally fractured tight reservoirs. (2024)
Journal Article
HAWEZ, H.K. and ASIM, T. 2024. Effects of externally applied stress on multiphase flow characteristics in naturally fractured tight reservoirs. Applied sciences [online], 14(18), article number 8540. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/app14188540

Externally applied stress on the rock matrix plays a crucial role in oil recovery from naturally fractured tight reservoirs, as local variations in pore pressure and in-situ tension are expected. The published literature severely lacks in evaluations... Read More about Effects of externally applied stress on multiphase flow characteristics in naturally fractured tight reservoirs..

A fully coupled model for predicting geomechanical and multiphase flow behaviour in fractured rocks. (2024)
Journal Article
HAWEZ, H.K., ASIM, T. and FAZIO, M. 2024. A fully coupled model for predicting geomechanical and multiphase flow behaviour in fractured rocks. Unconventional resources [online], 4, article number 100105. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.uncres.2024.100105

Geomechanical and multiphase flow characteristics are essential in recovering oil from naturally fractured rocks during hydrocarbon production because of changes in pore pressure and tension within the rock. It is a well-established fact that the geo... Read More about A fully coupled model for predicting geomechanical and multiphase flow behaviour in fractured rocks..

Recent developments in hydrocyclone technology for oil-in-water separation from produced water. (2024)
Journal Article
EKECHUKWU, O.M., ASIM, T. and HAWEZ, H.K. 2024. Recent developments in hydrocyclone technology for oil-in-water separation from produced water. Energies [online], 17(13), article number 3181. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/en17133181

The treatment of produced water is a major challenge faced by oil and gas industries worldwide. As a result of the increase in industrial activities, the generation of produced water has increased significantly. The most commonly used method for prod...

Effects of CO2 geosequestration on opalinus clay. (2024)
Journal Article
ASIM, T. and HAWEZ, H.K. 2024. Effects of CO2 geosequestration on opalinus clay. Energies [online], 17(10), article number 2431. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/en17102431

CO2 geosequestration is an important contributor to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13, i.e., Climate Action, which states a global Net-Zero CO2 emissions by 2050. A potential impact of CO2 geosequestration in depleted oil and gas reservo... Read More about Effects of CO2 geosequestration on opalinus clay..

Impact of regional pressure dissipation on carbon capture and storage projects: a comprehensive review. (2024)
Journal Article
HAWEZ, H.K. and ASIM, T. 2024. Impact of regional pressure dissipation on carbon capture and storage projects: a comprehensive review. Energies [online], 17(8), article number 1889. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/en17081889

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. CCS involves capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power plants and injecting them deep underground for lo...

A critical review on coupled geomechanics and fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs. (2021)
Journal Article
HAWEZ, H.K., SANAEE, R. and FAISAL, N.H. 2021. A critical review on coupled geomechanics and fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs. Journal of natural gas science and engineering [online], 95, article 104150. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jngse.2021.104150

Naturally fractured reservoirs have been a source of challenging issues with regard to field development, well stability, drilling, and enhanced oil recovery, as a connected fracture system can totally dominate the flow patterns. Because of the high... Read More about A critical review on coupled geomechanics and fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs..
