The purpose of this review is to summarize and discuss the recent developments in
exploring cellulose and its derivatives in the applications of oilfield chemicals for petroleum …

Hydrogels, as a series of three-dimensional, crosslinked, hydrophilic network polymers,
exhibit extraordinary properties in softness, mechanical robustness and biocompatibility …

This paper presents sustainable technology for environmentally friendly composite
production. Biobased unsaturated polyester resin (b-UPR), synthesized from waste …

Oil extraction faces challenges in cost and complexity due to excessive water production,
leading to diminished hydrocarbon recovery. Preformed particle gels (PPGs) hold promise …

Polyacrylamide-based drag reducers are an essential component of slickwater fracturing
fluids and are used to reduce friction during the fracturing process. However, the elevated …

Preformed particle gels (PPGs) in solutions have been widely used to suppress excess
water production in mature oil reservoirs and, in turn, to improve the amount of oil recovery …

Geothermal formations are naturally fractured with large fracture openings and networks.
This can often lead to frequent drilling fluid loss events which is a major contributor to the …

Polymer gel technology has been proven to be one of the most effective methods for
conformance control and enhanced oil recovery. However, to effectively gel highly …

The coexistence of blowout and lost circulation in multi-pressure fractured reservoirs has
always been a huge challenge to the oil industry. Although the use of high-density kill fluids …

Polyacrylamide (PAM)-based microspheres are commonly used as water plugging and
profile control agents, but the poor mechanical strength and few studies on the dispersion …
