Due to the challenges of discovering new energy sources, enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
techniques remain a potential area of research interest to produce residual oil in matured …

The utilization of smart water flooding to enhance oil recovery (EOR) has gained great
interest in carbonate reservoirs. This research analyzed previous studies on how smart …

The positive effect of modified salinity water (MSW) injection on oil recovery has been
broadly reported in the literature through core flooding experiment tests. Yet, the challenges …

We investigate the formation and properties of crude oil/water interfacial films. The time
evolution of interfacial tension suggests the presence of short and long timescale processes …

Perhaps as much as 50% of the oil-in-place in carbonate formations around the world is
locked away in the easy to bypass microporosity. If some of this oil is unlocked by the …

Photonic balls are spheres tens of micrometers in diameter containing assemblies of
nanoparticles or nanopores with a spacing comparable to the wavelength of light. When …

Pore space characterization of carbonate materials is of fundamental importance to a wide
range of earth science and engineering applications. In this study, we show how confocal …

Internationally, it has been agreed that geologic repositories for spent fuel and radioactive
waste are considered the internationally agreed upon solution for intermediate and long …

Spontaneous counter-current imbibition in Amott cell experiments is a convenient laboratory
method of studying oil recovery from oil-saturated rock samples in secondary or tertiary oil …

The injection of modified salinity water (MSW) within hydrocarbon reservoirs generally
improves oil production by inducing a shift in the relative mobility of the aqueous and oleic …
