Abstract Characterization of fluid–rock interactions is essential for a broad range of
subsurface applications such as understanding fluid flow in porous medium and enhanced …

Understanding the rock/fluid interaction is key to the success of any enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) method. However, EOR methods are significantly affected when the reservoir …

Chelating agents show very effective performance in different applications in the upstream
oil and gas industry. This study presents a critical review of the application of chelating …

Surfactant injection into hydrocarbon reservoirs is a proven method for enhanced oil
recovery, leveraging its ability to reduce interfacial tension between oil and water and …

This study used the diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-seawater (SW) system to
modify the sandstone rock wettability and enhance oil recovery. The investigation involved …

The injection of chemical fluids into oil reservoirs is gaining widespread attention in light of
the declining conventional oil resources by recovering more hydrocarbons. This study is …

Gemini surfactants are novel surfactants that show unique properties, including low critical
micelle concentrations, good water solubility, and outstanding performance in interfacial …

Acid-fracturing operations are applied to improve the productivity of carbonate reservoirs by
creating rough fracture surfaces that remain conductive for reservoir fluids after the fracture …

Scale formation and deposition in the subsurface and surface facilities have been
recognized as a major cause of flow assurance issues in the oil and gas industry. Sulfate …

Despite the positive aspects of low salinity water (LSW), this technique is relatively
expensive and unavailable in some countries. Furthermore, potential problems associated …
