As a supply for future fuel and energy demand, 95% of the bitumen deposits in North
America are expected to become a major source. The Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage …

Solid scales can cause significant problems in oil production and transmission systems such
as oil flow rate reduction. Wax is one of the most critical substances that are highly prone to …

Surfactant-polymer flooding is one of the most important enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
techniques, which refers to the injection of surfactant slugs and polymer drives. Two crucial …

Abstract Evaluation of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) performance that involves
detailed compositional simulations is usually deterministic, cumbersome, expensive …

Application of chemical flooding in petroleum reservoirs turns into hot topic of the recent
researches. Development strategies of the aforementioned technique are more robust and …

Machine learning technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in the petroleum industry,
especially for reservoir characterization and drilling problems. The aim of this study is to …

Compared to the widely distributed porous and fractured-porous carbonate reservoirs, the
naturally fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs (NFVCRs) found in Tarim Basin, China, suffer …

The combination of surfactant and polymer in injecting water will improve the oil recovery
during a water flood. The surfactant–polymer (SP) flooding would be more effective if …

The addition of a small amount of drag reducing agents (DRAs) to a flowing fluid in a
pipeline causes reduction in pressure drop through the pipeline. As a result, energy …
