Despite rapid advances in renewable energy extraction and utilization, global oil demand
continues to rise. Oil displacement technologies are widely studied and applied because …

In chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) techniques, surfactants are extensively used for
enhancing oil recovery by reducing interfacial tension and/or modifying wettability. However …

Synthetic chemical surfactants deployed in the petroleum industry to improve oil recovery to
meet growing global energy demand are described to have detrimental environmental …

This study focuses on developing a surfactant-treated nanofluid (nanosurfactant), a green
and sustainable solution, for improving oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. The natural …

Surfactants increase the capillary number and resultantly pore-scale displacement efficiency
by lowering interfacial tension (IFT) and changing wettability of the rock. However …

Surfactants are commonly used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications in carbonate
hydrocarbon reservoirs due to their ability to reduce oil/water interfacial tension (IFT) and/or …

Surfactants are deemed as an advantageous chemical in enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
because of their potential of lowering the interfacial tension and modifying the wettability …

The surface and interfacial properties of bisquaternary ammonium salts (16− 4− 16), sodium
dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), and their mixture were investigated. Moreover, the …

In order to investigate the flow behavior and oil displacement of ultralow interfacial tension
(IFT) surfactant flooding, the experimentally validated computational fluid dynamics …
