The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00072 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

ABSTRACT

In the present study, a transient flow and heat transfer model considering factors of CO2 thermal properties, viscous dissipation, heat conduction, and Joule−Thomson (J−T) effect is proposed to investigate the wellbore temperature and pressure. The viscous dissipation is considered as the amount of mechanical energy converted to thermal energy. The key parameter effects on the wellbore temperature and pressure are analyzed based on investigation of a well of diameter 50.3 mm and depth 3600 m. The results show that the temperature of CO2 increases with the well depth and decreases with increasing injection time. The CO2 pressure gradient is dominated by fluid velocity. More likely, a negative pressure gradient appears more likely in deeper wells. Simulation of molecular dynamics is used to calculate the solvation free energy of solute in CO2. The results show that polyoxyethylene 23-lauryl ether is the most promising soluble substance among the studied surfactants. Polyoxyethylene 6-nonyl phenol improves the viscosity of CO2 by a maximum of 23.8% at a concentration of 5 wt.% under the condition of 323.15 K and 30 MPa. With increasing CO2 viscosity, the bottom-hole temperature and pressure vary slightly.
