During chemical EOR, surfactants encounter significant losses when injected into porous
media mainly due to retention. The key mechanisms of surfactant retention are adsorption …

Homogeneous nickel-phosphorus-silica (Ni-P-SiO 2) nanocomposite coatings were
prepared on low carbon steel alloy surfaces by a new process. This method was developed …

Waste engine oil is a highly pollutant material that requires responsible management. Waste
engine oil may cause damage to the environment when dumped into the ground or into …

In the early stage of the oil production, referred to as primary recovery, oil is brought up to
the surface by inner-driving forces of the reservoir, which are supplemented by the injection …

Improved/enhanced oil recovery (IOR/EOR) has the potential to unlock a significant amount
of residual and trapped oil from existing and new hydrocarbon resources. This chapter …

The field-scale design of chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) processes requires
running complex numerical models that are computationally demanding. This paper …

In this work, Ricinus Communis leaves used as adsorbent to eliminate dissolved oil in oil-
water emulsion, the adsorbent was used in activated state, the influence of different …

Field-scale design of chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) processes requires complex
numerical models that are computationally expensive. This thesis presents an “artificial …
