A significant fraction of the conventional oil reserves globally is in carbonate formations
which contain a substantial amount of residual oil. Since primary and secondary recovery …

Emulsions, including oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, can play important
roles in both controlling reservoir conformance and displacing residual oil for enhanced oil …

With the ever increasing demand for energy to meet the needs of growth in population and
improvement in the living standards in particular in develo** countries, the abundant …

The primary method for heavy oil and bitumen production across the world is still in-situ
steam-based technology. There are some drawbacks associated with steam-driven heavy …

Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration (WA) are important enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) mechanisms that help displace residual oil from the reservoir. Many studies …

Oil production is a critical industrial process that affects the entire world population and any
improvements in its efficiency while reducing its environmental impact are of utmost societal …

In the present paper the effect of salinity and different surfactants on interfacial tension (IFT)
between crude oil and water has been investigated. Three different types of surfactants like …

A surface-active and “green” flooding agent, modified nanocellulose (NC), which is expected
to be an alternative to the current flooding systems for enhancing oil recovery (EOR), was …

India is currently producing crude oil from matured fields because of insufficient discoveries
of new fields. Therefore, in order to control the energy crisis in India, enhanced oil recovery …

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an important process in the synthesis
of carbonate minerals, and thus, it is widely explored as a novel approach with potential for …
