Despite the progress made on renewable energy, oil and gas remains the world's primary
energy source. Meanwhile, large amounts of oil deposits remain unrecovered after …

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 …

Surfactant flooding is an important technique used in enhanced oil recovery to reduce the
amount of oil in pore space of matrix rock. Surfactants are injected to mobilize residual oil by …

We developed a novel method for fabrication of glass micromodels with varying depth (2.5-
D) with no additional complexity over the 2-D micromodels' fabrication. Compared to a 2-D …

Ionic liquids are recently considered as an alternation to surfactants for their application in
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) because of their promising surface-active properties. In the …

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 …

Chemically enhanced oil recovery methods are utilized to increase the oil recovery by
improving the mobility ratio, altering the wettability, and/or lowering the interfacial tension …

Wettability modification plays a pivotal role in augmenting oil recovery from hydrocarbon
reservoirs, rendering it a primary focal point during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) …

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 …

The wettability of porous media strongly affects the trap** mechanism and storage
capacity during CO 2 geological storage. Various novel measuring methods have been …
