Current oil recovery methods in hydraulically fractured shale reservoirs have a low recovery
efficiency of about 10%. The objective of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of …

The significant amount of gas produced from unconventional reservoirs in the US in recent
years has reduced market prices for hydrocarbon gas and created an opportunity for using …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from shale oil formations is recognized as the next frontier in
the exploitation of unconventional resources. Current approaches for performing EOR …

Hydraulic fracturing in tight and shale reservoirs is a revolutionary technology enabling
economically-viable production. Nevertheless, oil recovery factors achieved from primary …

Exploitation of heavy oil is critical for mitigating the energy crisis. However, conventional
thermal recovery methods cannot completely exploit the potential of heavy oil owing to its …

The determination of microscopic residual oil distribution is beneficial for exploiting
reservoirs to their maximum potential. In order to investigate microscopic residual oil during …

Combined with NMR, core experiment, slim-tube tests, nano-CT and oil composition
analysis, the mechanism of CO 2 enhanced oil recovery had been studied. CO 2 flooding …

We present a comprehensive investigation of gas injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
in organic-rich shale using 11 coreflooding experiments in sidewall core plugs from the …

Cyclic gas injection (CGI), also known as huff-n-puff process, has been demonstrated as the
most effective and promising IOR solution in shale reservoirs. Such process involves many …

Gas huff-n-puff injection, which avoids the viscous fingering phenomenon or gas channeling
between connected wells, is a potential method to efficiently enhance oil recovery (EOR) in …
