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 …

Spontaneous imbibition is of particular importance to oil recovery from fractured reservoirs.
There has been a surge in the growth of technical literature over the past 5 years. This …

Increase in recovery of crude oil with decrease in salinity has been observed for numerous
laboratory waterfloods. Repeated waterfloods on a single reservoir sandstone core …

The effect of aging and displacement temperatures and brine and oil composition on
wettability and the recovery of crude oil by spontaneous imbibition and waterflooding has …

A considerable quantity of the world's oil reserve is located in naturally fractured carbonate
reservoirs, with very low oil recovery efficiency, due to their wettability and tightness of …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has attracted attention of numerous researchers as a
promising technique for enhanced oil recovery, yet its application is still limited because of …

Spontaneous imbibition controls many processes of practical importance. The subject is
undergoing rapid growth in terms of the number of publications. This paper is a selective …

The composition of the injecting brine has a profound effect on the efficiency of water-based
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. Recently, we observed that not only is the …

A generalized network extraction workflow is developed for parameterizing three-
dimensional (3D) images of porous media. The aim of this workflow is to reduce the …
