The fast depletion of oil reserves has steered the petroleum industry towards developing
novel and cost-effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in order to get the most out …

In mature reservoirs, over 60% of oil remains trapped after waterflooding and can only be
recovered using enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, including chemical EOR …

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

In this work, the flooding processes of low salinity waterflooding and low salinity polymer
flooding (LSWF and LSP) in sandstone reservoirs were mechanistically modelled at nano …

Low salinity water (LSW) flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method that promotes
oil displacement efficiency. Preformed particle gel (PPG) treatment is another EOR method …

Fast depletion in oil reserves has steered the petroleum industry towards developing novel
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. The standalone EOR methods have associated …

Low salinity water flooding (LSWF) has gained wide attention due to low-cost accessibility
and environmental friendly characteristics of the method. Since now a profound …

The application of smart water–polymer hybrid flooding in sandstone reservoirs has gained
significant attention in recent years. This study provides a comprehensive review of the …

Low-salinity water (LSW) flooding has been applied in sandstone and carbonate formations
to improve oil recovery. Wettability alteration by LSW has been identified as the dominant …

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 …
