In chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) techniques, surfactants are extensively used for
enhancing oil recovery by reducing interfacial tension and/or modifying wettability. However …

Surfactant flooding improves oil recovery by lowering the interfacial tension and/or altering
the reservoir rock's wettability. However, surfactant losses caused by adsorption on the …

Surfactants have been widely used for enhanced oil recovery. However, the wettability
alteration potential of surfactants as a function of carbonate rock mineralogy remains broadly …

How to reduce surfactant adsorption on a rock surface is a challenging task because
surfactant adsorption would negatively affect the performance of surfactants in enhanced oil …

Surfactant flooding has emerged as an interesting enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process
due to wettability alteration and reduction of oil-water interfacial tension (IFT). Environmental …

Surfactants have ability to mobilize the residual oil trapped in porous medium and resulting
higher oil recovery by altering interfacial tension between residual oil and water. However …

Surfactants increase the capillary number and resultantly pore-scale displacement efficiency
by lowering interfacial tension (IFT) and changing wettability of the rock. However …

Carbonate reservoirs are mostly oil-wet and tend to be naturally fractured, leaving a large
portion of oil inside the rock matrix after secondary recovery. Cationic surfactants that …

Low‐salinity surfactant (LSS) flooding is a combined enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
technique that increases oil recovery (OR) by altering the rock surface wettability and …

Low salinity water (LSW) flooding alters rock surface wettability toward more water wetness,
and consequently, oil recovery will be increased from a carbonate oil reservoir. Surfactant …
