Previous studies have reported contradictory behavior on the influence of salinity on
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals like surfactants, polymers, and nanoparticles …

The utilization of smart water in EOR (enhanced oil recovery) operations has drawn
increased attention in recent years. Nevertheless, the variety and complexity of mechanisms …

Dynamic behavior of fluid-fluid interactions can potentially affect the performance of any
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process including low salinity water flooding. In this work …

Hypothesis. A large number of papers discuss merits and mechanisms of low salinity
waterflooding. For each mechanism proposed, there are counter examples to invalidate the …

A major challenge faced in using enhanced oil recovery techniques in tight sandstone
reservoir is the unknown desorption mechanism of adsorbed oil in the reservoirs. In-situ low …

This study investigates the influence of oil polarity on interfacial tension (IFT), contact angle,
oil recovery, and effluent pH in smart water and Low-salinity water injection. The results …

In this study, demulsification separation-Fenton oxidation technology was employed as a
combined technology to treat total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in oil-based drill cuttings …

Understanding the micro-occurrence mechanism of tight oil has long been a daunting
challenge in the exploration and development of unconventional resources. This article …

In the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process, interfacial tension (IFT) has become a crucial
factor because of its impact on the recovery of residual oil. The use of surfactants and …

Injection of sea water is the most common practice to displace oil in porous media in
subsurface formations. In numerous studies, conventional surfactants at concentrations in a …
