Spontaneous imbibition controls many processes of practical importance. The subject is
undergoing rapid growth in terms of the number of publications. This paper is a selective …

Offshore oil and gas reservoirs comprise a significant portion of the world's reserve base,
and their development is expected to help close a potential gap in the supply of …

The water–oil–rock system's surfactant and electrostatic interactions are essential for
removing oil droplets from rock substrates. Our work illustrates the impact of surface charge …

ABSTRACT A new fluorescent polymer was prepared by copolymerization of acrylamide
and a modified rhodamine B (RhB). Fourier transformation infrared spectrometer and …

At the conclusion of flooding into an oil-or gas-bearing reservoir, a significant fraction of the
original hydrocarbon in place remains as trapped residual phase. In addition to determining …

3D pore-scale imaging and analysis provides an understanding of microscopic
displacement processes and potentially a new set of predictive modeling tools for estimating …

Most of the current daily oil production comes from mature or maturing oil fields, and reserve
replacement through new discoveries is not keeping pace with the growing energy …

At the end of preliminary hydrocarbon production by natural depletion, substantial amounts
of hydrocarbon remain entrapped in reservoirs due to their heterogeneity and capillary …

Increasingly sophisticated pore network models are being developed for prediction of multi-
phase transport properties. The most direct method for testing a deterministic pore network …

The geological storage of carbon dioxide is a promising method to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to the atmosphere and to meet demanding climate targets. It is also a key enabler …
