Permeability reduction and formation damage in porous media caused by fines (defined as
unconfined solid particles present in the pore spaces) migration is one of the major reasons …

Abstract Low Salinity Water Injection (LSWI) has been a well-researched EOR method, with
several experimental and theoretical scientific papers reported in the literature over the past …

For nano-surfactants, a new class of surfactants, the unique surface properties, micellization,
and application of amphiphilic carbon dots (CDs) have been investigated carefully …

Wettability modification plays a pivotal role in augmenting oil recovery from hydrocarbon
reservoirs, rendering it a primary focal point during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) …

This study used the diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-seawater (SW) system to
modify the sandstone rock wettability and enhance oil recovery. The investigation involved …

Recent studies have shown that although low salinity waterflooding leads to promising EOR
impacts, it is to blame for the formation of unwanted water-in-oil emulsions. Thus, this study …

The reservoir rock is made up of different minerals and its surface chemistry is influenced by
the reservoir environment. Well operations implemented during the life of a field induce …

Spontaneous imbibition is an important recovery method of low permeability and tight
reservoirs. However, the mechanism and influencing factors of imbibition on the addition of …

Unconventional oil resources (oil shale, oil sands, extra heavy oil, and natural bitumen) and
residues (atmospheric and vacuum residua) can exploit hot compressed water (HCW: T> …

This research investigates the use of supercritical water (SCW) with solvents to enhance the
conversion of oil shale (in core and powder form) in synthetic oil at temperatures of 380, 400 …
