Abstract Contamination by Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL) represents a
challenge due to the difficulties encountered in its underground assessment and recovery …

Emulsions are suspensions of droplets ubiquitous in oil recovery from underground
reservoirs. Oil is typically trapped in geological porous media where emulsions are either …

Spontaneous imbibition has been proved to be a promising enhanced oil recovery method
for tight reservoirs, but the mechanisms of spontaneous imbibition oil recovery (SIOR) are …

Abstract Scanning Electro Microscope (SEM) images illustrate the variety of possible pore
shape in organic matter of shale reservoirs. The size of the pores with different geometries is …

The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of oil-in-water
nanoemulsion systems for application in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Nanoemulsions …

This study investigates the performance of two non-ionic sugar-based surfactants, belonging
to the families of synthetic alkylpoliglucosides and biological rhamnolipids, for enhancing …

The intractable nature of oil-contaminated soil (OS) constitutes the chief limiting factor for its
remediation. Herein, the aging effect (ie, oil–soil interactions and pore-scale effect) was …

Digital core simulation technology, as an emerging numerical simulation method, has
gradually come to play a significant role in the study of petrophysical properties. By using …

Surfactant-stabilized microemulsions (MEs) are often used to reduce the capillary forces
responsible for trapping residual oil inside rocks. Recent studies showed that the presence …

This study investigates the pore-scale displacement mechanisms of crude oil in aged
carbonate rocks using novel engineered carbon nanosheets (E-CNS) derived from sub …
