Growing oil demand and the gradual depletion of conventional oil reserves by primary
extraction has highlighted the need for enhanced oil recovery techniques to increase the …

Calcite is among the most abundant minerals organizing the oil reservoir formation and
therefore its surface properties play a central role in the increase of the oil recovery …

This paper resolve the salinity-dependent interactions of polar components of crude oil at
calcite-brine interface in atomic resolution. Molecular dynamics simulations carried out on …

Long carbonation time has been a common feature in the integrated process composed by
immediate one-step lime precipitation and atmospheric carbonation. This work aims to …

We study water confined in calcite (104) slit pores from 6 to 1 nm by molecular dynamics. By
determining NMR parameters combined with hydrogen bond network analysis, we provide …

The efficiency of water flooding methods is known to improve by applying ion-tuned water
injection. Although there is a consensus that such improvement happens through reversing …

This study aims to elucidate the impact of salinity on the interactions governing the
adsorption of polar aromatic oil compounds onto calcite. To this end, molecular dynamics …

Enhanced oil recovery by low salinity water (LSW) injection in carbonate reservoirs
constitutes one of the main interests for petroleum industry. A molecular mechanism …

Molecular dynamics simulation was applied in this study to scrutinize the interfacial
properties of water nano-film confined between calcite mineral and hydrocarbon layer, as …

The present work reports the very first hydrothermal synthesis of 100% triclinic phase pure
aragonite (A1) with microdumbbell microstructural architecture and Au Nanoparticle …
