This study investigates the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem and proposes a hybrid
(HES-IG) algorithm that utilizes makespan as the objective function. To address the …

Wettability alteration has been proposed as one of the dominating effects of engineered
salinity waterflooding (EWF). Most of the existing approaches for modeling wettability …

Surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding is considered an efficient technique to increase the
recovery of oil, especially from carbonates reservoirs, because of their complex nature. The …

The hybrid low-salinity polymer (LSP) injection technique has potential for significant
synergistic advantages as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) approach. Previous studies …

Several core-flooding-based experimental studies demonstrated the effect of calcium and
magnesium ions and it is found that these hard ions have detrimental effects on oil recovery …

Job shop scheduling problems (JSSPs) are intractable combinatorial optimization problems
and have been solved by numerous researchers over the last couple of decades, however …

Low-salinity polymer (LSP) flooding is a synergic emergent enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
technique. Previous laboratory experiments showed noticeable improvements in …

Flow shop scheduling problems with blocking (BFSSP) have ample applications in the
industry. In this paper, an Evolutionary algorithm, ie Evolution Strategies (ES) is used to …

Abstract Objectives/Scope: In light of the global transition towards the 1.5-degree pathway,
the need for alternative power sources becomes increasingly crucial. However, the rapid …

Chemical flooding has gained ample popularity as an effective technique to increase oil
displacement and sweep efficiencies. However, very limited numerical applications of …
