Polluted aquifers can be decontaminated using either ZVI (zero valent iron) permeable
reactive barriers (PRB) or injected ZVI. The placement of ZVI within the aquifer may take …

Increasing magnetization within mature hydrocarbon reservoirs provides a new technique in
identifying oil–water contacts (OWCs) in cored wells with the potential to assess yield …

Aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene (BTEX) can escape
into the environment from oil and gas operations and manufacturing industries posing …

The weathering process can cause the volatilization of light components in crude oil, leading
