Food Res Int 2024; 187:114437. [PMID: 38763684 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Numerous datasets regarding anthocyanins have been noted elsewhere. These previous studies emphasized that all processes must be carried out meticulously from the source used to obtain anthocyanins to their inclusion in relevant applications. However, today, full standardization has not yet been achieved for these processes. For this, presenting the latest developments regarding anthocyanins under one roof would be a useful approach to guide the scientific literature. The current review was designed to serve the stated points. In this context, their biosynthesis pathway was elaborated. Superior potential of fruits and certain by-products in obtaining anthocyanins was revealed compared to their other counterparts. Health-promoting benefits of anthocyanins were detailed. Also, the situation of innovative techniques (ultrasound-assisted extraction, subcritical water extraction, pulse electrical field extraction, and so on) in the anthocyanin extraction was explained. The stability issues, which is one of the most important problems limiting the use of anthocyanins in applications were discussed. The role of copigmentation and various encapsulation techniques in solving these stability problems was summarized. This critical review is a map that provides detailed information about the processes from obtaining anthocyanins, which stand out with their functional properties, to their incorporation into various systems.

Mierez J, AlTammar MJ, Alruwaili KM, Alfaraj RT. Recent advances of ultrasound applications in the oil and gas industry. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 103:106767. [PMID: 38266591 PMCID: PMC10818082 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
In the last two decades, ultrasound (US) technologies research has increasingly earned attention for applications in the oil and gas industry. Numerous laboratory and field research have proven ultrasonics as an efficient, sustainable and cost-effective technology for improving well productivity. This paper pursues the elaboration of a comprehensive review of the most recent research related to ultrasonic technologies for applications in the oil and gas industry. Statistical analysis of different functional categories and classification of the research publications were performed. Considering the research reviewed, there is a huge gap between numerical and field studies in comparison with the numerous laboratory studies, deeming it necessary to increase efforts on developing mathematical and numerical models and field-testing cases of the ultrasonic effect. A comprehensive review of the ultrasonic waves' mechanisms of action for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and emulsification/demulsification was conducted. Despite the lack of consensus regarding the mechanisms, cavitation and thermal effects on wellbore fluid and formation rock have been widely accepted as two of the most influencing mechanisms. A compilation of the state-of-the-art research of numerical, laboratory and field studies in the last two decades was assembled. Most authors agreed that ultrasonics is a highly efficient method for EOR and emulsion treatment if the optimal conditions are identified and achieved. The development of screening criteria for the application of ultrasonic waves was recommended, as this technique and the same parameters should not be utilized for all reservoir types. Treatment with ultrasound waves has shown improvement of oil recovery efficiency rates of over 90% and viscosity reduction values over 80%. The most efficient results were observed when in combination with another conventional EOR method, where ultrasound boosts recovery efficiency. Potential new applications related to rock mechanics and additional research topics were also recommended.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:2931-2944. [PMID: 38250368 PMCID: PMC10795120 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c08484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Nigerian bituminous tar sands are among the world's largest deposits of bitumen and heavy oil. They are estimated to contain 38-40 billion barrels of heavy oil and bitumen, spanning approximately 120 km in length and 4-6 km in breadth. With global commitments to net zero emissions and various energy transition plans, improvements in the recovery methods for heavy oil and bitumen are being sought. To address this, renewable energy electrothermal enhanced oil recovery is considered an eco-friendly alternative. In our study, we introduce a novel Reservoir-Waveguide-Debye model. This model explores the enhancement of penetration for radio-frequency electromagnetic (EM) waves, which can be generated from renewable energy sources. These waves facilitate the viscosity reduction of heavy oil and bitumen. Through a comprehensive 2D numerical simulation employing the bulk properties of bituminous tar sands, we assess the propagation of EM fields within porous media. We utilize the industrial heating radio-frequency bandwidth of 1-60 MHz to conduct frequency domain investigations. Our analysis delves into propagation modes using eigenfrequency analysis, pinpointing the EM resonance of the tar sands. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of mesh refinement on the EM eigenfrequencies of porous media at both the microscale (400 μm) and macroscale (100 m in radial distance). Our results demonstrate the occurrence of resonance phenomena at complex eigenfrequencies around 27.12 and 54.24 MHz in both the microscale and macroscale models of the bituminous sands. This breakthrough research offers promising insights into harnessing renewable energy-driven EM waves for efficient thermal recovery processes in the Nigerian bituminous tar sands, thus fostering sustainable and eco-friendly energy solutions.

Comparative Static and Dynamic Analyses of Solvents for Removal of Asphaltene and Wax Deposits above- and below-Surface at an Iranian Carbonate Oil Field. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:25525-25537.

Abstract
During production from oil wells, the deposition of asphaltene and wax at surface facilities and porous media is one of the major operational challenges. The crude oil production rate is significantly reduced due to asphaltene deposition inside the reservoir. In addition, the deposition of these solids inside the surface facilities is costly to oil companies. In this study, the efficiency of different solvents in dissolving asphaltene and wax was investigated through static and dynamic tests. The analysis of solid deposits from the surface choke of one of the Iranian carbonate oil fields showed that they consisted of 41.3 wt % asphaltene, and the balance was predominantly wax. In addition, the asphaltenes obtained from the surface choke solid deposits had a more complex structure than that of asphaltenes extracted from the crude oil itself. The static tests showed that xylene, toluene, gasoline, kerosene, and gas condensate had the highest efficiencies in dissolving solid deposits; conversely, diesel had a negative impact on dissolving solid deposits. Static tests on pure asphaltene showed that, among the tested solvents, gas condensate and diesel had a negative effect on the solubility of asphaltene. The dynamic core flooding results showed that asphaltene deposition inside the cores reduced the permeability by 79-91%. Among the tested solvents, xylene, gasoline, and kerosene resulted in the highest efficacy in restoring the damaged permeability, and higher efficiency was obtained with an equivalent solvent injection rate of 1 bbl/min versus 3 bbl/min.

Abstract
The ultrasound method is a low-cost, environmentally safe technology that may be utilized in the petroleum industry to boost oil recovery from the underground reservoir via enhanced oil recovery or well stimulation campaigns. The method uses a downhole instrument to propagate waves into the formation, enhancing oil recovery and/or removing formation damage around the wellbore that has caused oil flow constraints. Ultrasonic technology has piqued the interest of the petroleum industry, and as a result, research efforts are ongoing to fill up the gaps in its application. This paper discusses the most recent research on the investigation of ultrasound’s applicability in underground petroleum reservoirs for improved oil recovery and formation damage remediation. New study areas and scopes were identified, and future investigations were proposed.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 83:105949.

Abstract
Asphaltene deposition around the wellbore is a major cause of formation damage, especially in heavy oil reservoirs Ultrasonic stimulation, rather than chemical injection, is thought to be a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly means of removing asphaltene deposition. However, it seems to be unclear how crucial features like reservoir pore geometries and ultrasonic parameters affect this ultrasound treatment. In this work, five two-dimensional glass micromodels with different pore geometries were designed to assess the impact of pore geometries on the ultrasonic removal of asphaltene deposition. Experiments were undertaken in an ultrasound bath at a set frequency (20 kHz) and adjustable powers (100-1000 W). Direct image analysis before, during and after sonication was used to assess the impact of pore geometry and a change in ultrasonic parameter on the removal of asphaltene deposition. The effectiveness of ultrasound treatment at various sonication periods were found to be reliant on the pore geometries of the individual micromodels. For micromodels with throat sizes 300 µm and pore shapes as circle, square and triangle, an increase in ultrasonic power from 400 to 1000 W resulted in an increase in the percentage of removed asphaltene deposition after 2 h from 12.6 to 14.7, 11.5 to 14.63, and 5.8 to 7.1 percent, respectively.
