Without remorse, fossil fuels have made a huge contribution to global development in all of
its forms. However, the recent scientific outlooks are currently shifting as more research is …

With the increasing demand for efficient extraction of residual oil, enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) offers prospects for producing more reservoirs' original oil in place. As one of the most …

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

The wettability of carbonate rocks is often oil-wet or mixed wet. A large fraction of oil is still
remained in carbonate reservoirs, it is therefore of particular significance to implement …

Wettability, a fundamental property of porous surface, occupies a pivotal position in the fields
of enhanced oil recovery, organic contaminant adsorption and oil/water separation. In this …

Due to the wide application prospects in energy harvesting, conversion, and emission
control technology, wettability has gathered momentum in recent years. Surface wettability …

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 …

Injecting surfactant by means of chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) has acquired
predominant attention in improving oil recovery by changing either fluid/rock and/or …

Nearly half of the world's oil reserves are found in carbonate reservoirs, which have
heterogeneous formation characteristics and are naturally fractured. Because of the …

The selection of appropriate chemicals and the synthetic method plays an important role in
oilfield application. The objectives of this study are to describe the various synthetic route for …
