Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes have a great potential to maximize oil recovery
factor of the existing reservoirs, where a significant volume of the unrecovered oil after …

With the increasing demand for efficient extraction of residual oil, enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) offers prospects for producing more reservoirs' original oil in place. As one of the most …

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 …

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 …

Due to the continuous depletion of crude oils in the reserves, and continuous rise in energy
demand, there is currently a widespread interest in various methods of chemical enhanced …

The wetting properties of ALES (Ammonium lauryl ether sulfate), SLES (sodium lauryl ether
sulfate), TD (dodecyl triethanolamine salfate) and SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) solutions …

Due to population growth, the need for energy, especially fossil fuels, is increased every
year. Since the costs of exploring new reservoirs and drilling new wells are very high, most …

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 …

Anionic surfactants are widely used as an effective chemical for enhanced oil recovery
because of their unique characteristics of reducing interfacial tension (IFT) between the …

In this captivating study, we explored the fascinating potential of carbon nanotube-based
nanofluids in improving oil recovery efficiency and transforming interfacial tension. To …
