SUMMARY:Nanotechnology for the Oilfield - James Tour\, BP Lecturer\, Rice 
 University\, Houston
DTSTART:20131024T103000Z
DTEND:20131024T113000Z
UID:TALK47510@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Catherine Pearson
DESCRIPTION:The application of nanotechnology\, particularly carbon nanote
 chnology\, to the oilfield will be discussed.  Many of these projects are 
 being done in collaboration and sponsorship with oil and gas companies or 
 related consortia.  The specific topics\, along with the partnering entiti
 es\, that will be presented are:\n•	corrosion inhibitors (Multi-Chem/Hal
 liburton)\n•	nano-enhanced rubber (NanoComposites Inc.)\n•	downhole se
 nsors (Advanced Energy Consortium = AEC)\n•	enhanced oil recovery at hig
 h temperature and salinity (AEC for nano-based work\; seeking partner for 
 non-nano-based advanced surfactants)\n•	removal of asphaltenes (currentl
 y seeking a partner)\n•	capture of radionuclides from water-NORMs (VSW a
 nd Argonide)\n•	nanoparticles for extraction of bitumen from surface min
 able oil sands (BCE Oil Sands)\n•	drilling fluid loss prevention and con
 ductive oil-based muds (MI SWACO-Schlumberger)\nCO2 capture especially for
  sea-based platforms (Apache) \n
