It is well known that approximately 30% of Original Oil in Place (OOIP) is produced by water
flooding. Therefore, to improve the residual oil recovery, the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) …

The rapidly expanding global energy demand is forcing a release of regulated pollutants
into water that is threatening human health. Among various wastewater remediating …

With the increasing demand for efficient extraction of residual oil, enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) offers prospects for producing more reservoirs' original oil in place. As one of the most …

Enhanced oil recovery techniques are commonly used today in oil fields to boost oil
production. The objective of the present study is to investigate the use of silica nanoparticles …

Nearly half of the world's oil reserves are found in carbonate reservoirs, which have
heterogeneous formation characteristics and are naturally fractured. Because of the …

Chemical-enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) is a class of techniques commonly used to extract
hydrocarbon fluids from reservoir rocks beyond conventional waterflooding. Surfactants are …

Surfactant flooding is one of the most promising chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR)
methods to produce residual oil in reservoirs. Recently, nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted …

With the continuous depletion of easy-to produce oil resources, the effective and low-cost
exploitation and upgrading of heavy oil becomes a key to alleviate the contradiction …

Recently, the application of low salinity water (LSW), nanoparticles (NPs), and surfactants
(collectively abbreviated as LNS) in carbonate formations for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) …

The application of nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been shown to be
advantageous over conventional methods. Wettability alteration of reservoir rock from oil-wet …
