Polymer flooding most commonly uses partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (HPAM)
injected to increase the declining oil production from mature fields. Apart from the improved …

Oil recovery using modified/smart water technology can be maximized by optimizing the
composition of the injected water. Brine optimization is also believed to improve polymer …

Short-hydrophobe surfactants based on cosolvent species have been studied as novel
surfactants for enhanced oil recovery. The objective of this research is to investigate such …

In this paper, we present a new generation of micromodels that will significantly improve the
investigation of" Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)" processes under in-situ reservoir conditions …

The injection of sulfonated-modified water could be an attractive application as it results in
the formation of a mechanically rigid oil-water interface, and hence, possible higher oil …

This paper investigates the additional oil recovery associated to viscoelastic flow instabilities
encountered during polymer flooding. Single and two-phase polymer EOR experiments …

Utilization of nanoparticles in EOR have gained high attention recently, with good but
controversial results reported on improving oil recovery. Within this work two types of …

Polymer solutions are used in chemical EOR processes to achieve incremental oil
recoveries through obtaining favorable mobility ratios. In the process, the in-situ viscosity is a …

Abstract Oil recovery using Smart Water technology (SWF) can be maximized by optimizing
the composition of injected water. Brine optimization is also believed to improve Polymer …

This study focuses on the investigation of the flow behavior of viscoelastic polymer solutions
in porous media, aiming to better understand three phenomena: Elastic turbulence, elastic …
