“…In numerical simulations of various reaction flows, reactions can be classified based on reaction kinetics into irreversible reactions and reversible reactions. For instance, the reaction of hydrochloric acid with carbonate rocks [38,39] is considered an irreversible reaction, while the reaction of carbon dioxide solution with rocks [40][41][42] is classified as a reversible reaction. Additionally, there exist multi-step reactions, such as the flow reaction of hydrofluoric acid in sandstone [43][44][45].…”

In engineering, gelled acids play a crucial role in facilitating reactive flow phenomena across diverse mediums. This study undertakes a comprehensive numerical investigation into the reactive flow dynamics within fracture-vuggy carbonates, employing gelled acid as the agent. The mathematical model intricately couples thermal, hydrological, and chemical aspects to provide a holistic understanding of the process. Fractures are meticulously modeled using a pseudo-fracture approach, while vugs are delineated as highly porous matrix clusters. The simulation meticulously examines the influence of vugs and fractures, in conjunction with the rheological behavior of gelled acid, on the dissolution process. Our findings reveal that compared to hydrochloric acid, gelled acid is more effective in treating high-temperature carbonate rocks. A lower power law index induces a more pronounced response in shear stress, resulting in a more uniform dissolution pattern. Moreover, the presence of vugs and fractures exerts a significant impact on both the trajectory of wormhole growth and its penetration depth. As the length of fractures increases and their number multiplies, their dominant influence on the growth of wormholes becomes more pronounced. Furthermore, an abundance of fractures may attenuate the influence of vugs. This study highlights the importance of controlling the power-law index and understanding the complex interactions between fractures and vugs for reactive flow.

“…Energy is the driving force behind economic and social development [4], yet fossil fuel-based energy is the primary cause of climate change [5]. Also, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, industrialisation, overexploitation, and the consumption of fossil fuel-based products and services are the leading causes of climate change [6][7][8][9]. In 2022, global CO 2 emissions reached 37.15 bil-lion tonnes, primarily due to the use of fossil fuels such as oil (31.57%), coal (26.73%), and gas (23.49%) as energy sources [10,11].…”

The excessive use of energy from fossil fuels, which corresponds to population, industrialisation, and unsustainable economic growth, is the cause of carbon dioxide production and climate change. The Water–Energy–Food (WEF) nexus is an applicable conceptual framework that helps manage the balance between human development and natural resource constraints, and it becomes a valuable tool to address the challenges of resource depletion and clean energy. This article aims to analyse the relationship between the WEF nexus and clean energy through a statistical analysis and a systematic review of knowledge on energy sustainability. The methodology involves the selection of bibliographic information databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), a statistical analysis, specifically the Scientometrics applied to the information obtained, and the identification of 179 scientific publications related to the study variables through a screening process called Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The interaction of green energy and sustainability with the WEF nexus has been approached mainly by developed countries such as China (10%), the United States (9.49%), India (7.26%), and Brazil (5.02%). The review of 55 scientific papers identified strategies that balance economic growth and environmental impact, applying clean energy systems (e.g., solar and wind), and the importance of adaptation to the subsystems of the WEF nexus. This study also highlights adaptability to climate change in rural and urban communities. Therefore, it is consistent with the four pillars of sustainable development (Economic: 7 papers, Environmental: 22, Social: 18, and Cultural: 8). This study highlights the following: (a) the importance of the use of renewable energy either in mixed systems and consumption, energy storage, and seeking energy efficiency in systems adapted to diverse environments and (b) the relevance of community participation in the decision-making process for the use of clean energy, such as a strategy for climate change adaptation.

“…There are academic studies that have conducted systematic reviews in domains related to emerging technologies, drones, gas, and oil [10], [11]. Shukla and Karki [12] mentioned that UAVs are used for external automation in pipeline inspection, thereby generating greater security for sensitive O&G facilities.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles are considered a part of emerging technologies designed to facilitate, improve, and transform the operational efficiency of industries with significant capital and assets, such as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon projects require comprehensive management in the production and transportation processes, where the application of drones plays a fundamental role by minimizing the exposure of personnel in high-risk activities, improving the efficiency of operations and the integrity of assets, and significantly reducing costs and time in the field. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis and systematic review of the relationship between drones and the hydrocarbon industry, focusing on production and transportation processes through bibliometric techniques and evaluation of case studies for the analysis, classification, and description of key issues, methodologies, and trends worldwide. The research methodology consisted of three phases: (i) conceptualization of study variables and database combinations; (ii) bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and bibliometric software; and (iii) focalization on systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method. Bibliometric analysis collected data from 1985 to 2023, with 143 scientific publications indexed in the Scopus and WoS databases. The results showed a growing trend in the annual publications of drones and their application in the hydrocarbon industry, focusing on safety issues, pipeline inspections and storage tanks, and environmental monitoring generated by methane emissions and oil spills. In the case study analysis, the use of drones with different sensors was demonstrated, among which, the thermal camera, gas detector, LiDAR, EMAT, RGB camera, SWIR, RTK, and methane sensors stood out.
