Water-soluble polymers, as thickeners, are the vital component of high temperature-resistant
fracturing fluids. With the expansion of oil and gas exploration and development to deep …

Natural gum derived from the natural surrounding (gum arabic, guar gum, xanthan gum,
gellan gum, fenugreek gum, karaya gum, and acacia gum) is one of the most abundant …

Surfactant-nanoparticle stabilized foams hold significant potential in the field of enhanced oil
recovery (EOR). This article discusses an experimental methodology to characterize foam …

Patterned substitution of d-amino acids into the primary sequences of self-assembling
peptides influences molecular-level packing and supramolecular morphology. We report …

Polymer flooding is an appropriate enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process that can increase
macroscopic sweep efficiency. We examined two polymeric superpushers at different …

Concrete, the major construction material used in the construction industry worldwide,
presents a huge environmental impact producing about 7% of the global carbon dioxide …

The nature and type of fracturing fluid play a vital role in a successful hydraulic fracturing job.
The desired fracturing fluid should have non-damaging characteristics and an effective …

Caffeic acid (CA), a phenolic acid, is a powerful antioxidant with proven effectiveness. CA
instability gives it limited use, so encapsulation in polymeric nanomaterials has been used to …

In this research, a novel natural-based polymer, the Aloe Vera biopolymer, is used to
improve the mobility of the injected water. Unlike most synthetic chemical polymers used for …

Stabilizing mechanism of silica nanoparticles on gelled foam prepared with a very low
concentration of polymer (xanthan gum) and surfactant (α-olefin sulfonate) is reported in the …
