“…The proposed research program requires highly accurate simulation results [64] with thorough understanding of traditional flow measurement techniques [65] similar to those used for ultrasound and microwaves applications in the enhanced separation of bitumen from oil sands [66], [67]. The quantitative assessment of modelling accuracy is especially relevant.…”

Abstract-This paper proposes an integrated and coherent research program includes phenomena discovery and investigation, product design, performance evaluation, failure mode analysis, interfacial and surface interaction enhancement, tooling product development and manufacturing technologies. The focused area is tooling system design and manufacturing of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil extraction technology. This study covers sand control liners and inflow and outflow control devices for in-situ heavy oil extraction. In order to provide solid scientific engineering input and analysis support, multi-disciplinary experts with a unique combination of strengths are suggested to form a team; hence the collective expertise covers a broad range of required scientific challenges. This proposed program leverages on knowledge-based and sustainable solutions with synergic, industry-oriented, and multidisciplinary collaboration approach.Index Terms-Multi-disciplinary research, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), phenomenon modeling, semantic modeling.I.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] As Zendehboudi et al [6] stated, asphaltene deposition in reservoir rock, especially in the near wellbore region, causes serious problems such as formation damage and permeability reduction. [13,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In the following part, the most relevant studies on application of ultrasonic waves in oil industry are presented. It should be stated that only suspended asphaltene might deposit and block the formations.…”

Ultrasonic treatment as an economical and green technology has been much attended in petroleum industry, especially for inhibition and removal of asphaltene deposition in the near wellbore region. The performance of ultrasonic waves is affected by different parameters such as time, power, frequency, type of radiation, etc. In this communication, the effects of duration of ultrasonic radiation, power, and stability on asphaltene aggregation were evaluated from a kinetic point of view. In fact, the optimal radiation conditions were determined by comparing the growth kinetics and size distribution of asphaltene particles. The optimal exposure time and power of ultrasonic radiation for the oil sample were obtained at 150 s and 40 W, respectively. In addition, the negative effect of time duration on the aggregated asphaltene particle diameter was observed. The effect of ultrasonic radiation on prevention and removal of asphaltene deposits was examined by observation of changes in asphaltene particle diameter. The results demonstrated the beneficial effect of ultrasonic waves on inhibition of asphaltene deposition. In order to investigate the effect of ultrasound on asphaltene deposition in porous media, the oil sample was radiated with ultrasound at the most optimal conditions, which were obtained in the previous experiments. Moreover, the trend of asphaltene particle deposition in porous media (micromodel) at optimal conditions was compared to the same oil sample without ultrasonic radiation. Comparison of pressure drop curves showed that the use of ultrasound in determined optimum conditions reduces the amount of asphaltene deposition.
