Emulsions are suspensions of droplets ubiquitous in oil recovery from underground
reservoirs. Oil is typically trapped in geological porous media where emulsions are either …

Emulsions play more and more important role in the oil recovery as they are found to occur
in most enhanced oil recovery processes and are involved in certain modes of crude oil …

Emulsions appear in many subsurface applications including bioremediation, surfactant-
enhanced remediation, and enhanced oil-recovery. Modeling emulsion transport in porous …

The objective of this review is to summarize progress in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using
emulsions. Recent developments in bulk emulsion characteristics, including emulsion phase …

Transport of emulsions in porous media is relevant to several subsurface applications. Many
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes lead to emulsion formation and as a result …

Oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions offer considerable promise as oil recovery agents.
They can provide mobility control in certain situations, and may even serve as blocking …

Flow of dilute, stable emulsions in porous media is important in several oil recovery
processes. Because underground media have relatively low permeabilities, the emulsion …

Injection of crude oil-in-water emulsion in tertiary mode has been recognized as a potential
method to increase oil recovery. Better understanding of emulsion flow through porous …

In-situ formation of emulsions has been observed in a large amount of chemical flooding
pilots, and their effect on oil recovery is of great interest to petroleum engineers and …

This work establishes the flow mechanism of dilute, stable emulsions in fine grained porous
media. Oil-in-water emulsions of mean drop sizes ranging from 1 to 10 µ are studied In …
