Integrated geological-engineering model of Patrick Draw field and examples of similarities and differences among various shoreline barrier systems

The Reservoir Assessment and Characterization Research Program at NIPER employs an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on the high priority reservoir class of shoreline barrier deposits to: (1) determine the problems specific to this class of reservoirs by identifying the reservoir heterogeneities that influence the movement and trapping of fluids; and (2) develop methods to characterize effectively this class of reservoirs to predict residual oil saturation (ROS) on interwell scales and improve prediction of the flow patterns of injected and produced fluids. Accurate descriptions of the spatial distribution of critical reservoir parameters (e.g., permeability, porosity, pore geometry, mineralogy, and oil saturation) are essential for designing and implementing processes to improve sweep efficiency and thereby increase oil recovery. The methodologies and models developed in this program will, in the near- to mid-term, assist producers in the implementation of effective reservoir management strategies such as location of infill wells and selection of optimum enhanced oil recovery methods to maximize oil production from their reservoirs

Studies on the extraction of cyclic peptides from flax waste materials

Cyklopeptydy wydzielono z makuchów i plew lnianych dwiema metodami: ekstrakcją za pomocą nadkrytycznego i ciekłego CO2 oraz tradycyjną ekstrakcją rozpuszczalnikową. Przeprowadzono badania zależności wydajności ekstrakcji cyklopeptydów za pomocą CO2 od temperatury i czasu trwania procesu. Badania wykazały, że wysoka temperatura rozpuszczalników zwiększa zawartość cyklopeptydu CLA w otrzymanych ekstraktach. W przypadku plew lnianych obie zastosowane metody ekstrakcji dały porównywalne wyniki.Cyclopeptides were separated from linseed cakes and chaff using two methods: supercritical and liquid CO2 extraction and traditional solvent extraction. Tests were carried out on the dependencies of cyclopeptide extraction using CO2 on the temperaturę and duration of the process. Studies have shown that high temperaturę of solvents increases the content of cyclopeptide CLA in the obtained extracts. In case of chaff both applied extraction methods have given similar results
