Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration (WA) are important enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) mechanisms that help displace residual oil from the reservoir. Many studies …

Abstract In our previous publications (;,;), we presented a philosophy for the operation of gas
injection processes in unconventional liquid reservoirs (ULR) that consisted in using a huff …

Matured reservoirs are being targeted for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations in the
hope to recover the residual oil that remains trapped within the porous media. Chemical …

The primary objective of this study is to develop a novel experimental nanofluid based on
surfactant–nanoparticle–brine tuning, subsequently evaluate its performance in the …

The nanofluid (nanoparticles dispersed in determined carrier fluid) flooding has been
studied for reducing the interfacial tension (IFT), increasing the viscosity of the displacement …

Recently low-salinity waterflooding was introduced as an effective enhanced-oil-recovery
(EOR) method in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The recovery mechanisms that use …

In situ heat generation is one of the promising techniques to enhance hydrocarbon
production, by removing the condensate damage from the near-wellbore region, and …

The nanotechnology has been applied recently to increase the efficiency of enhanced oil
recovery methods. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of SiO2 …

A capillary desaturation curve (CDC) depicts the relationship between residual oil
saturation, Sor,(ie oil left behind in a well-swept permeable medium) and capillary number …

Today, global energy demand increases significantly, but supply growth does not increase
in the same proportion. The oil industry has been affected by the shortage of discoveries of …
