Applications of nanotechnology in several fields of petroleum industry, eg, refinery, drilling
and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), have attracted a lot of attention, recently. This research …

The utilization of smart water in EOR (enhanced oil recovery) operations has drawn
increased attention in recent years. Nevertheless, the variety and complexity of mechanisms …

Low salinity waterflooding has become increasingly popular to improve recovery efficiency
in matured oil fields. Numerous underlying mechanisms behind the low salinity …

Surfactants when interacted with reservoir rock surfaces undergo adsorption, which can
intensively break the process by diluting surfactant formulation, thereby promoting additional …

Previous studies have reported contradictory behavior on the influence of salinity on
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals like surfactants, polymers, and nanoparticles …

Using nanoparticles (NPs) in different industries such as enhanced oil recovery processes
increased during the past decade due to its significant effects on the wettability alteration …

Interfacial tension (IFT) between water and crude oil is a crucial variable that enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) techniques can adjust to increase oil extraction from depleted fields. Most of …

This study investigates the influence of oil polarity on interfacial tension (IFT), contact angle,
oil recovery, and effluent pH in smart water and Low-salinity water injection. The results …

The role of salts in altering the interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability of the rock towards oil
recovery is evident through low salinity (lowsal) water flooding. On the other hand, alkali …

The extraction of lithium from the waste of used batteries is going to be necessary due to the
limited resources of lithium. One of the most common methods to extract is liquid–liquid …
