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 …

This research investigated the removal of heavy metals (As, Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Cu, Fe, and Zn)
via batch adsorption process from industrial electroplating wastewater using two different …

Crude oil is a major energy source that is exploited globally to achieve economic growth. To
meet the growing demands for oil, in an environment of stringent environmental regulations …

Understanding of possible molecular interactions at liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces
can shed lights onto the nature's design and authorise fine manipulation aptitude in …

Recently, utilization of surfactant for EOR purposes in carbonate petroleum reservoirs has
received the attention of many researchers. Surfactants generally appear to improve oil …

Up to now, a large number of studies revealed that smart waterflooding is a cost-effective
method by considering the effect of potential determining ions (PDI) on enhanced oil …

The thin brine film that wets rock surfaces governs the wettability of underground reservoirs.
The ionic composition and salinity of this nanosized brine film influence the wetting …

A new model for a positively charged calcite surface was developed to allow realistic
molecular dynamics studies of wettability alteration on carbonate rocks. The surface charge …

Carbonate reservoirs are made up of predominantly calcite and dolomite minerals and hold
significant hydrocarbon reserves globally. However, the production from carbonate …

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 …
