Abstract Kuwait Oil Company has recognized the implications of the recent technological
advances that are very likely to transform the oil industry and make chemical enhanced oil …

Low-salinity waterflooding is an emerging enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) technique in which
the salinity of the injected water is substantially reduced to improve oil recovery over …

Injectivity decline due to mineral scale deposition in near wellbore region of water injection
wells is one of the main challenging issues and have been widely reported in the literature …

Scale deposition in surface and subsurface production equipment is one of the common
problems during oil production, resulting in equipment corrosion, wellbore plugging …

The lack of consensus on the mechanisms underpinning low salinity waterflooding (LSWF)
oil recovery has affected the successful implementation of LSWF in carbonate reservoirs …

Low salinity waterflooding is an emerging EOR technique in which the salinity of the injected
water is substantially reduced to improve oil recovery over conventional higher salinity …

Mechanistic simulation of alkaline/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding considers chemical
reactions between the alkali and the oil to form in-situ soap and reactions between the alkali …

Vast majority of past studies that have been conducted on controlled salinity water flooding
(CSWF) use diffuse layer model (DLM) that calculates only the surface potential, which can …

Scale precipitation due to the mixing of incompatible injected water with formation brine and
its subsequent deposition in porous media is an unpleasant phenomenon in water injection …

This study explores the geochemical reactions that can cause permeability loss in
hydraulically fractured reservoirs. The experiments involved the reaction of powdered-rock …
