This study investigates different types of waste materials and their applicability in the oil and gas industry as well as analyzing various applications of these waste materials in the petroleum industry. This study also explores the availability of these waste materials by performing a statistical analysis in a good number of countries worldwide. The statistical study was performed starting with a study on which countries generate waste the most overall, followed by examining multiple countries and investigating their top three most available waste. The results showed that the USA is the leading country in terms of municipal solid waste generation …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection has been applied extensively in hydrocarbon reservoirs for both increasing oil recovery and CO2 storage purposes. Recently, CO2 injection has been proposed to increase oil recovery and for CO2 storage in shale reservoirs. During CO2 injection in shale reservoirs, adsorption will take place on the surface of the rock, which will impact both the oil recovery and the storage capacity. This research provides a roadmap to the different types of adsorption and the adsorption measurements and calculations with emphasis on the ones most applicable during CO2 injection in shale …
