Despite the progress made on renewable energy, oil and gas remains the world's primary
energy source. Meanwhile, large amounts of oil deposits remain unrecovered after …

In this review, an attempt has been taken to show the preferential selection criteria of
microemulsions and nanoemulsions for applications in enhanced oil recovery. This paper …

Emulsions, including oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, can play important
roles in both controlling reservoir conformance and displacing residual oil for enhanced oil …

With the ever increasing demand for energy to meet the needs of growth in population and
improvement in the living standards in particular in develo** countries, the abundant …

Surfactant-based oil recovery processes are employed to lower the interfacial tension in
immiscible displacement processes, change the wettability of rock to a more water-wet …

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

Thermal recovery techniques and solvent-based EOR methods are not applicable in many
of thin post cold heavy oil production with sands (CHOPS) heavy oil reservoirs in Western …

The primary method for heavy oil and bitumen production across the world is still in-situ
steam-based technology. There are some drawbacks associated with steam-driven heavy …

Controlling nanofluid stability in saline environment has been a long-standing challenge as
salt ions screen-out the surface charge of the nanoparticles (NPs), rendering them unstable …

Utilization of the abundant heavy crude oil resources has been accepted as an effective
approach to tackle the shortage of light oil supply in the coming decades. However, the high …
