Currently, there is a widespread interest in the different methods of chemical enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) as a result of the continuous decline in the conventional oil reserves and the …

Microemulsion, because of its excellent interfacial tension reduction and solubilization
properties, has wide range of applications in the petroleum industry, especially in improved …

With a constant upsurge in energy demand, production from depleted and harsh reservoirs
through enhanced oil recovery techniques (EOR) has significantly increased. Among many …

In this review, an attempt has been taken to show the preferential selection criteria of
microemulsions and nanoemulsions for applications in enhanced oil recovery. This paper …

Nanoemulsions (NEs) are emerging as attractive injecting fluids for enhanced oil recovery
because of their abilities to reduce interfacial tension, alter the rock wettability, improve the …

Hypothesis It is generally believed that the improved efficiency of surfactant enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) comes from ultra-low interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and surfactant …

The effects of surfactant molecules involved in macro-, mini-, nano-, and microemulsions
used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are related to their amphiphilic interactions with oil …

Microemulsion flooding technology, known for significantly reducing interfacial tension,
improving rock wettability, and providing strong driving forces at the microscopic level, has …

Emphasizing upon the effect of rock mineralogy, aqueous media salinity and temperature,
this work addresses the adsorption characteristics of surfactant on real reservoir rocks. The …

The research published in the past half century indicates that surfactant interfacial
performance in producing low tension or high solubilization with polar oils is not generally …
