Research on nanotechnology application in the oil and gas industry has been growing
rapidly in the past decade, as evidenced by the number of scientific articles published in the …

The emissions of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, have been identified as the main
contributor for global warming and climate change. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is …

Global demand for energy is increasing day by day rapidly as a result of the population,
industrial, and economic growth of develo** countries, especially in emerging market …

For the past decades, long-term water flooding processes have led to water channeling in
mature reservoirs, which is a severe problem in oilfields. The development of better plugging …

We have undertaken atomistic molecular simulations to systematically determine the
structural contributions to the hydrophobicity of fluorinated solutes and surfaces compared to …

This review discusses supercritical fluids in industrial and near-to-industry applications.
Supercritical fluids are flexible tools for processing materials. Supercritical fluids have been …

The concept of hydrophilic/CO2-philic balance (HCB) was extended to describe stabilization
of carbon dioxide-in-water (C/W) foams (also called emulsions) with silica nanoparticles …

Foam has been applied in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for more than sixty years. The
surfactant-stabilized N 2/CO 2 foams are two of the most widely used foams in foam EOR …

To date, relatively few examples of ultra-high internal phase supercritical CO 2-in-water
foams (also referred to as macroemulsions) have been observed, despite interest in …

Stabilization of CO 2-in-water (C/W) foams with surfactants at high temperature and high
salinity conditions is challenging given limitations in the solubility and thermal stability of …
