Alteration of rock wetting preference toward a more favorable wetting state has been
identified as the primary mechanism of oil recovery from intermediate and oil-wet carbonate …

In existing or operating oil fields, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods are employed to
increase production, which can contribute to meet fossil fuel demand. This research …

This review brings an overview based on recent publications of multi-scale molecular
modeling studies applied to the upstream Oil & Gas segment. These works provide suitable …

The adsorption of benzoic acid (BA) and the consequent benzoate (B) formation are
fundamental processes responsible for wettability alteration on carbonate surfaces in the …

Due to its exceptional biocompatibility, Polyurethane (PU) reinforced with calcium carbonate
(CaCO3) is a composite material with significant biomedical applications. However, much of …

In enhanced oil recovery (EOR), low salinity water (LSW) is an essential condition to change
wettability in carbonate reservoirs for organic compound desorption. However, the nature of …

This review is devoted to modern applications of solid state NMR (ssNMR) to the structural
studies of heterogeneous catalysts. Recent developments of ssNMR combining high …

Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, which can be found living with eukaryotic phytoplankton,
play a pivotal role in the fate of oil spillage to the marine environment. Considering the …

Background To demonstrate the adsorption strength of shale gas to calcium carbonate in
shale matrix, the adsorption of shale gas on CaCO3 (100) surfaces was studied using the …

The application of 43 Ca solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) experiments to
probe various materials is reviewed. Methods used to obtain high-quality 43 Ca SSNMR …
