The EOR techniques are employed to recover more oil from mature reservoirs after the
primary and secondary oil production stages. Polymer flooding as a chemical EOR method …

The current routine practice to produce oil in shale and tight reservoirs is the primary
depletion by combining horizontal well drilling and fracturing. The technology can only …

Despite rapid advances in renewable energy extraction and utilization, global oil demand
continues to rise. Oil displacement technologies are widely studied and applied because …

The current and prospective worldwide energy demands have led either to start exploiting
the more difficult and costly unconventional oil reserves, or to maximize the exploitation of …

Abstract Enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes are used to recover bypassed and
residual oil trapped in the reservoir after primary and secondary recovery methods …

The aging of the existing reservoirs makes the hydrocarbon extraction shift toward newer
reserves, and harsh conditioned carbonates, which possess high temperature and high …

Minerals surface properties have played a substantial to predict the rock mineralogy and
chemical materials interactions, especially in chemical flooding (eg, polymers, surfactant). In …

India is currently producing crude oil from matured fields because of insufficient discoveries
of new fields. Therefore, in order to control the energy crisis in India, enhanced oil recovery …

A water soluble nano-composite was synthesised using radical polymerization method
where polymeric chain was grafted on silica nanoparticle surface. Chemical structure of …

Both amphiphilic polymer and surfactant can be used to enhance oil recovery (EOR) by
emulsifying crude oil. In this work, the emulsifying ability and emulsion stability of …
