Abstract In Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR), various chemicals such as polymer,
surfactant, alkaline, and nanoparticles are injected solely or in combination to mobilize the …

Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater
remediation to improve the recovery of trapped nonaqueous fluids. However, applications …

All the time the flow of fluids happens below the surface of the earth. These flow processes
can only be imagined, but not be fully visualised on how fluid flow behaviour occurs though …

Microfluidics is a promising approach for investigating processes at the pore scale of rocks,
such as oil recovery, due to their similar size range. Unlike conventional core flooding and …

Thief zones are regions with high permeability, usually formed in mature or depleted
reservoirs after water flooding, which can further reduce the overall recovery during …

The main objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of the simultaneous use of a
surfactant mixture and magnetic iron core-carbon shell nanoparticles on oil recovery via a …

Low salinity waterflooding aims to alter rock wettability from oil-wet towards less oil-wet or
water-wet conditions. There is a limited understanding of how wettability alteration impacts …

Oil production is a complex process that can be made more efficient by applying gas
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. Thus, it is essential to know the minimum miscibility …

Abstract Series of numerical simulations were done to quantify the effects of pore structure
approximations on micro-scale displacement mechanisms. Coupled Cahn–Hilliard phase …

Abstract Soil & Rock Aggregate (SRA) is ubiquitous in nature and an excellent fill material in
engineering. The presence of SRA rock blocks in number and size-difference makes it …
