A critical institutionalist analysis of youth participation in Jordan's spatial planning the case of Amman 2025
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2018-09)By 2050, it is estimated that 84% of the population in the Global South will be living in urban areas. As a country of the Global South, Jordan has experienced dramatic growth of urban areas over the past decades. Cities ... -
Characterisation of naturally fractured reservoirs using geological well-testing
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2018-08)In naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR), fractures often constitute the main heterogeneities, yet the pressure responses observed in the wells may not show the conventional well-test signatures for NFR. In order to better ... -
Inhibition and dissociation of gas hydrates using glycols/alcohols and biodegradable kinetic hydrate inhibitors
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2018-07)Gas hydrates are a major flow assurance issue that can cause serious operational and safety problems in the oil and gas industry. In the past decade, low dosage hydrate inhibitors (LDHIs) – including kinetic hydrate ... -
The role of unconformities in the distribution of clay and porosity in North Sea clastic reservoirs
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2018-09)The effect of an unconformity surface on the quality of underlying clastic reservoirs has long been a matter of considerable debate. Two opposing hypotheses have been proposed. One supports a relationship between the ... -
Numerical simulation and optimisation of foam-based EOR in naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2018-06)Carbonate reservoirs hold more than half of the world’s remaining oil reserves and around 40% of the world’s remaining gas reserves. Producing hydrocarbons from carbonate reservoirs can be very challenging as carbonate ...
