Due to the continuous depletion of crude oils in the reserves, and continuous rise in energy
demand, there is currently a widespread interest in various methods of chemical enhanced …

In oil and gas industry operations, scale deposition on the surface and subsurface
production equipment can cause different problems such as formation damage, loss in …

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

Abstract Characterization of fluid–rock interactions is essential for a broad range of
subsurface applications such as understanding fluid flow in porous medium and enhanced …

Chelating agents show very effective performance in different applications in the upstream
oil and gas industry. This study presents a critical review of the application of chelating …

The efficiency improvement of steam injection (more oil, less steam) is a critical challenge in
heavy oil recovery. Using chemical additives is one option to achieve this efficiency …

Chelating agents reduce the salinity of seawater (SW) and mimic low salinity water (LSW) by
binding metal ions in the solution and on the rock surface. This process decreases SW …

Reservoir rock wettability has been linked to the adsorption of crude fractions on the rock,
with much attention often paid to the bulk mineralogy rather than contacting minerals. Crude …

This study used the diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-seawater (SW) system to
modify the sandstone rock wettability and enhance oil recovery. The investigation involved …

Previous researches have shown that different anionic surfactants have different adsorption
rates on mineral clays. Furthermore, many literatures have presented that anionic …
