Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration (WA) are important enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) mechanisms that help displace residual oil from the reservoir. Many studies …

Surfactant-mediated wetting and spreading are ubiquitous. Understanding of these
phenomena in-depth allows precise tailoring of wetting performance which can contribute to …

With a constant upsurge in energy demand, production from depleted and harsh reservoirs
through enhanced oil recovery techniques (EOR) has significantly increased. Among many …

Surfactants are known as interfacial tension (IFT) reducer additives in enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) process. The use of chemical surfactants has always been a challenge due to the …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of substances for which there are
widespread concerns about their extreme persistence in combination with toxic effects. It has …

Chemical-enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) is a class of techniques commonly used to extract
hydrocarbon fluids from reservoir rocks beyond conventional waterflooding. Surfactants are …

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

In the present work, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles produced by the ultrasonic precipitation method
and characterized by XRD, SEM, and BET methods are used to produce nanofluids using a …

Surfactants are among the materials used to improve water properties for injection into oil
reservoirs, and reduce injection phase and crude oil interfacial tension (IFT). Recently, the …

Surfactants are effective additives for interfacial tension (IFT) reduction. They can also
improve the reservoir rock wettability and foam and emulsion formation. In this study, a …
