Surfactant-based oil recovery processes are employed to lower the interfacial tension in
immiscible displacement processes, change the wettability of rock to a more water-wet …

Most oil fields today are mature, and the majority of the reservoirs in the Middle East are
carbonate rocks characterized by high temperature high salinity (HTHS), heterogeneous …

Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration (WA) are important enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) mechanisms that help displace residual oil from the reservoir. Many studies …

Surfactants have been widely used for enhanced oil recovery. However, the wettability
alteration potential of surfactants as a function of carbonate rock mineralogy remains broadly …

Combining low salinity water (LSW) and chemicals to enhance oil recovery has recently
received more attention in the oil industry. In this study, a systematic experimental procedure …

The depletion of conventional resources and steady increase in the global oil demands has
led to the shift of attention to the unconventional resources which are difficult to extract due …

Adsorption of asphaltene onto mineral or metal surface is an undesirable process with
several adverse effects such as wettability alteration, fouling pipelines/equipment …

Carboxy betaines CnZC (where n represents the carbon number of the alkyl chain, n= 12, 14
and 16) and extended surfactant C16P3E6S were combined to assess their potential …

Stability of nanoparticle dispersion in brine solution is a key parameter for a successful
nanofluid-based enhanced oil recovery processes. This paper aims to provide a systematic …

Liquid nanofluid (LNF) has been widely used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in tight oil
reservoirs in recent years. However, the mechanism of oil recovery by LNF flooding is still …
