The wettability of subsurface minerals is a critical factor influencing the pore-scale
displacement of fluids in underground reservoirs. As such, it plays a key role in hydrocarbon …

Experimental investigations targeting optimum chemical slug formulations for tertiary
enhance oil recovery of heavy crude oil in carbonate reservoir were carried out. Based on …

The anionic polymer-citrate-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles suspensions have been studied
as a candidate for enhanced oil recovery at harsh conditions in oil reservoir. The efficiency …

The gas injection is a widely used technique for improving oil recovery; however, in
reservoirs with heterogeneous characteristics, the injection of gas in the form of foam is more …

One of the advanced proceedings in the petroleum industry is the use of nanotechnology for
better oil recovery. Therefore, in this study, Nano-Graphene (NG) was firstly synthesized by …

Chelating agents' application for well stimulation is gaining more and more interest, as they
can perform under harsh conditions. However, the mutual influence of surfactants and …

Surfactants are known as potential candidates for enhancing oil recovery by affecting
interfacial tension and wettability in different types of oil reservoirs including sandstones and …

Background: The results of previous studies indicated that the addition of surfactant to the
base fluid affects considerably the behavior of the solution. As a result, it is important to focus …

Natural surfactants have been considered part of the EOR processes, given their non-toxic
and environment-friendly nature. In this project, two novel natural surfactants have been …

The article presents the studies on the adsorption of water-miscible oil-containing cutting
fluids on the R6M5 high-speed steel surface. The fluids can be used for the shear blades of …
