This study aimed to address the challenges faced by mature oilfields in extracting
substantial oil quantities. It focused on improving the efficiency of alkaline–surfactant …

Matrix acidification is one of the most effective stimulations to dissolve scales and remove
damage in carbonate reservoirs. However, existing acid systems are difficult to dissolve …

Brownian motion, often known as BM, is an inherent characteristic of minute particles
suspended in a fluid. It plays an important role in several physical and chemical processes …

Nanomaterials have great potential as novel materials for enhancing oil recovery in low-
permeability reservoirs. Spontaneous aggregation hampers their application effectiveness …

Phenol-formaldehyde resins combined with polymers have a wide range of industrial
applications as plugging agents for profile control and enhanced oil recovery. Due to the …

Alkaline–surfactant–polymer (ASP) flooding, a recognized method for oil recovery,
