Low salinity water flooding (LSWF) has been intensively investigated but the conditions for
LSWF to work are still unclear and the EOR mechanisms are still debatable. In this study, we …

Comparative analyses of petroleum generation potential, reservoir volume, frackability, and
oil mobility were conducted on 102 shale cores from the Dongpu Depression. Results show …

Due to the challenges of discovering new energy sources, enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
techniques remain a potential area of research interest to produce residual oil in matured …

The incompatibility between workover fluid and reservoir rock is one of the causes of
formation damage. Fines migration and clay swelling are considered as the major …

The latest oil price decline simply increases the demand for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
and pushes research developers to keep improvements in oil recovery. The goal is always …

Evaluating unconsolidated reservoirs' internal stability concerning fine migration is essential
for the commercial development of natural gas hydrate resources. In this pursuit, we use our …

A laboratory study has been undertaken on the effect of permeability variation during low-
salinity water injection as a function of kaolinite content in the rock. A novel methodology of …

Permeability is one of the fundamental properties of porous media and is required for large-
scale Darcian fluid flow and mass transport models. Whilst permeability can be measured …

Field observations have shown that the concentration of fines produced during the early two-
phase flow stage in coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs is much higher than single-phase …

Sandstone formations are widely considered for underground sequestration of CO 2. During
CO 2 injection, fines migration can cause pore blockage, which reduces sandstone …
