Microorganisms introduced into drilling process cause a number of problems that can lead to significant costs for the industry. Numerous studies have shown that biogenic sulfide production in oil and natural gas fields have led to a number of problems, including reservoir plugging, reservoir souring, reduced product quality, and corrosion of metal-containing equipment. The aim of this study is to determine the microbial contamination of water drilling mud and cement Mix fluid at two Saudi Aramco well SA-10 ＆ SA-12 and to adequately perform microbial assessment for the well both wells. Microbiological analyses were conducted to evaluate the level of contamination by TB （total bacterial） and SRB （sulfate reducing bacteria） using and q-PCR （quantitative poly chain reaction） technique. Microbial results for SA-10 indicated that total bacteria were 2.21 × 103/mL for mix fluid sample and 1.22 × 105/mL for drilling water sample. In addition, microbial results for total SRB were 1.65 × 102/mL and 1.34 × 102 mL, respectively. Moreover, microbial results for SA-12 indicated 5.89 × 105/mL of total bacteria and 98/mL of SRB in the sample.展开更多

Catalytic cracking is a promising alternative for plastic wastes recycling. More than 99% of a polymer mixed converted into combustible hydrocarbon in a catalytic converting reaction. The products are mainly middle distillates. In this work equally weighted mixed HDPE （high density polyethylene）, LDPE （low density polyethylene） and Polypropylene were degraded. The reaction occurred in a semi batch reactor at several temperatures and catalyst/polymer ratios in search for an optimum operating condition. The products are liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons with minor of residue. The liquid and gas products were in the range of middle distillate cuts of gasoline, kerosene and gas oil. Finally, with a metallic base, yielded 99.5% of given mixed to valuable middle distillate products that include 86% liquid hydrocarbon and 13.5% gas, ranging between C1 and C5 with less percent of residue. The optimum condition for this yield reports at a temperature of 450 ℃ and 10% of catalyst w/w at atmosphere pressure.展开更多
