Utilization of nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has attracted great attention in
recent decades. However, various constraints influence fluid-fluid and fluid-rock interactions …

Wettability alteration is one of the most important methods for oil recovery from sandstone
and carbonate reservoirs. The effects of salinity, pH, temperature, and chemicals such as …

Scale formation and deposition in the subsurface and surface facilities have been
recognized as a major cause of flow assurance issues in the oil and gas industry. Sulfate …

Wettability studies have been carried out on reservoir rocks using different techniques such
as the Amott‐Harvey method, the USBM method, and the contact angle method, all with …

As major oil and gas companies have been investing in shale oil and gas resources, even
though has been part of the oil and gas industry for long time, shale oil and gas has gained …

The influence of wettability on the permeability performance of water–oil two-phase flow has
attracted increasing attention. Dispersed flow and stratified flow are two flow regimes for …

Wettability study using the ζ potential technique is a novel approach proposed for carbonate
reservoir rocks. As opposed to other existing industrial and laboratory methods, such as the …

Water flooding is widely applied for pressure maintenance or increasing the oil recovery of
reservoirs. The heterogeneity and wettability of formation rocks strongly affect the oil …

Increasing global trend of unconventional production impelled the oil and gas companies to
adapt the EOR mothods to unconventionals to increase the recovery. In this study, a deep …
