Primary oil recovery from fractured unconventional formations, such as shale or tight sands,
is typically less than 10%. The development of an economically viable enhanced oil …

The drop weight method has been used as a standard method for surface and interfacial
tension measurement. However, lack of appropriate guidelines in using this method has …

We report here a simplification of the capillary-rise/vanishing interfacial tension (IFT) method
to measure minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) based on only requiring knowledge of …

The interfacial tension (IFT) between the injecting gas and host oil is a key parameter that
affects the ultimate displacement efficiency and gas injection enhanced oil recovery (EOR) …

Microfluidic investigations of flow and transport in porous and fractured media have the
potential to play a significant role in the development of future subsurface energy resource …

CO 2 flooding is an efficient enhanced oil recovery method, especially for waterflooding
depleted reservoirs. In this work, waterflooding and CO 2 flooding were evaluated in a …

We present an overview of the molecular simulations performed to understand the two-
phase behavior of brine or alkane in the presence of CH4, CO2, and their mixture at …

Introduction ower transformers are one of the most expensive elements in a power system,
and their failure is a very costly event. Power transformers are mainly involved in energy …

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the bulk and interfacial properties
of methane+ n-decane, carbon dioxide+ n-decane, and methane+ carbon dioxide+ n …

CO2 flooding is used extensively as a commercial process for enhanced oil recovery. In this
study, the visualization of CO2 flooding in immiscible and miscible displacements in a high …
