Adsorption of crude oil components at mineral surfaces followed by quartz crystal micro-balance and contact angle measurements: The effect of oil composition, simulated weathering and dispersants
Farooq, Umer; Nourani, Meysam; Ivol, Flavien; Årrestad, Anne Bjerke; Øye, Gisle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-01)Improved knowledge of interactions between crude oil and solid surfaces is of great importance for understanding oil spill responses as well as oil spill behavior on land and in the near-shore environment. Here, the goal ... -
Dispersibility and biotransformation of oils with different properties in seawater
Brakstad, Odd Gunnar; Farooq, Umer; Ribicic, Deni; Netzer, Roman (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01)Dispersants are used to remove oils slicks from sea surfaces and to generate small oil-droplet dispersions, which may result in enhanced biodegradation of the oil. In this study, dispersibility and biodegradation of ... -
Review of asphaltenes in an electric field
Farooq, Umer; Lædre, Sigrid; Gawel, Kamila (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Asphaltenes are regarded as troublesome components of crude oils as their precipitation and deposition inside production wells and downstream infrastructure often result in a reduction of production capacity and, in critical ... -
Review on Application of Nanotechnology for Asphaltene Adsorption, Crude Oil Demulsification, and Produced Water Treatment
Farooq, Umer; Patil, Amit; Panjwani, Balram; Simonsen, Galina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Nanotechnology is widely recognized for having important applications in many industries, one of which is oil and gas. Both environmental and cost benefits can be achieved when using nanoparticles for the separation of ... -
Study of the oil interaction towards oil spill recovery skimmer material: Effect of the oil weathering and emulsification properties
Farooq, Umer; Taban, Ingrid Christina; Daling, Per Snorre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10)The primary aim of this research was to identify the physicochemical properties of the oil and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions used during a NOFO Oil-on-Water field trials that reduced the performance of the skimmers recovery ... -
Study on how oil type and weathering of crude oils affect interaction with sea ice and polyethylene skimmer material
Øksenvåg, Jane Helén Carlsen; Fossen, Martin; Farooq, Umer (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08)Understanding the fate of spilled oil in cold environments is essential for oil spill response in Arctic areas. The potential for oils to adhere to sea ice and mechanical skimmers can significantly impact the success of ...
