This review analyses the fundamental thermodynamic theory of the crude oil-brine-rock
(COBR) interface and the underlying rock-brine and oil-brine interactions. The available …

Asphaltene deposition in the reservoirs, tubbing, and surface facilities causes serious flow
assurance problems with significant economic implications. Asphaltene flow assurance …

Carbonate rock reservoirs comprise approximately 60% of the world's oil and gas reserves.
Complex flow mechanisms and strong adsorption of crude oil on carbonate formation …

In the present study, an extended series of interfacial tension (IFT) and contact angle
experiments were performed to find the most promising alternative out of four conventional …

In this study a novel nanofluid based on the sulfonated graphene (G-DS-Su) for enhanced
oil recovery is developed. Nano porous graphene (NPG) synthesized by chemical vapor …

It is well established that the heavy oil components including asphaltenes and resins play
vital roles on the interfacial tension (IFT) of acidic crude oil (ACO) and aqueous solutions …

The impacts of salinity adjustment of displacing fluid have recently gained special attention
to enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Different mechanisms have been studied widely in the …

Fractured moderate oil-wet carbonate reservoirs are the main productive formations in the
Middle East. The change in wettability state toward water wetness beside interfacial tension …

Brine-dependent recovery, which involves injected water ionic composition and strength,
has seen much global research efforts in the past two decades because of its benefits over …

In this paper, an innovative polyoxyethylated graphene oxide-based nanofluid (P-GO-O) for
enhanced oil recovery was prepared. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier …
