Carbonate matrix stimulation technology has progressed tremendously in the last decade through creative laboratory research and novel fluid advancements. Still, existing methods for optimizing the stimulation of wells in vast carbonate reservoirs are inadequate. Consequently, oil and gas wells are stimulated routinely to expand production and maximize recovery. Matrix acidizing is extensively used because of its low cost and ability to restore the original productivity of damaged wells and provide additional production capacity. The Ahdeb oil field lacks studies in matrix acidizing; therefore, this work provided new information on limestone acidizing in the Mishrif reservoir. Moreover, several reports have been issued on the difficulties encountered during the stimulation operation of the Ahdeb oil field, particularly for the development of the Mishrif reservoir. Since the new core flooding system is built to operate safely and straightforwardly. This study introduced the results of Matrix acidizing experiments, covering the most recent developments in linear core flooding. High-permeability flow pathways are created, and a longer and wider wormhole was generated at a high acid injection rate (6.67 cc/min). The acid efficiency curve yielded the lowest pore volume injected at the breakthrough of the PV_(bt-opt) is 2.73 and the v_(i-opt)=0.6 cm/min; thus, the optimum injection rate that results in an optimal possible wormhole and the least quantity of acid being used for this reservoir is 2.16 cc/min. This research evaluated the impact of matrix acidizing treatment on acoustic characteristics, which studies show are lacking or have never been investigated previously. Furthermore, in the assessment of geomechanical rock properties and elastic and petrophysical parameters before and after acid injection, one of the new concepts discovered during the lab experiment observation of the acoustic waveform before and after acid treatment for the tested rock sample is that the initial arrival time before acid treatment is 21.6 microseconds, with a delay of 31.2 microseconds attributed to the wormhole channel and mineral disintegration. CT-Scan applications in matrix acidizing were investigated in this research; additionally, a 3D view of plug samples was constructed to represent the wormhole extension via CT-processing software. A license of Stimpro Stimulation Software has been used to validate the experimental work to the field scale, making it the most comprehensive instrument for planning and monitoring matrix acid treatment and utilizing actual data to provide a far better knowledge of the well's reaction, with methods that represent the reality of what is happening in the reservoir before, during, and after matrix acid treatments, through the post-treatment skin factor which is the most often utilized statistic for analyzing stimulation treatments and relies on the geometry of the wormholed zone. The acid treatment evaluated for the well AD-12, primarily for the zone Mi4; matrix acid treatments can have their production behavior predicted or matched using the reservoir simulation and production analysis option, employing the numerical simulation license software Petrel (Schlumberger) and Rubis (KAPPA) to determine the efficacy of previous treatments and the economics associated with future treatments. The estimated oil gain volume and percentage for the Mi4 unit in Ad-12 using particularly skin value -3.97 computed from Stimpro software for real stimulation acid job, it is yield enhancement in production of oil gain volume 6154 barrels as well as 105% increase of gain percentage for three months after matrix acidizing.
This study aims to determine the extent to which Palestinian elites use digital diplomacy to confront the Israeli narrative by exploring the motives for usage, patterns, essential digital diplomatic tools, and achieved satisfactions. The study adopted a survey methodology and employed a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 110 Palestinian political and media elites.
The study arrived at several key findings, including: Palestinian elites allocate a substantial (%67) of their efforts towards employing digital diplomacy as a response to the Israeli narrative. The foremost platforms employed for this purpose are Facebook and Twitter. The primary motivation for utilizing these digital platforms is to present
Background: Determination of local bone mineral density (BMD) immediately after implant insertion play an important role in implant success rate, may offer comprehensive description of the bone, and give enough information to the surgeon prior to implant insertion and at follow up status. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the changes of local bone density in the dental implant recipient sites by using computerized tomography. Material and method: The sample consisted of (20) dental implants recipient sites, bone density assessment was done twice, immediately after implants insertion and after six months. Results: The mean HU of the bone around the implant insertion site, immediately after implant placement was 552.28 HU, and inc

The effect of location eccentricity, depth of first layer of reinforcement, vertical spacing, number and type of reinforcement layers have been investigated. The results indicated that the percentage of bearing improvement a bout (22 %) at number of reinforced layers N=1 and about (47.5%) at number of reinforced layers N=2 for different Eccentricity values when depth ratio and vertical spacing between layers are (0.5B and 0.75B) respectively
Spray pyrolysis technique (SPT) is employed to synthesize cadmium oxide nanostructure with 3% and 5% Cobalt concentrations. Films are deposited on a glass substrate at 350 ᵒC with 150 nm thickness. The XRD analysis revealed a polycrystalline nature with cubic structure and (111) preferred orientation. Structural parameters represent lattice spacing, crystallite size, lattice parameter and dislocation density. Homogeneous surfaces and regular distribution of atoms were showed by atomic force microscope (AFM) with 1.03 nm average roughness and 1.22 nm root mean square roughness. Optical properties illustrated a high transmittance more than 85% in the range of visible spectrum and decreased with Co concentration increasing. The absorption
