The low salinity/engineered water injection techniques (LSWI/EWI) have become one of the
most important research topics in the oil industry because of their possible advantages for …

Most oil fields today are mature, and the majority of the reservoirs in the Middle East are
carbonate rocks characterized by high temperature high salinity (HTHS), heterogeneous …

Polymer flooding most commonly uses partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (HPAM)
injected to increase the declining oil production from mature fields. Apart from the improved …

Polymer flooding can significantly improve sweep and delay breakthrough of injected water,
thereby increasing oil recovery. Polymer viscosity degrades in reservoirs with high-salinity …

Several laboratory experiments demonstrated that different water compositions cause rocks
to change from oil-to water-wet state. Although it is a consensus that wettability alteration is …

This paper presents recent advances in the subject of modeling and optimization of ASP
(Alkaline, Surfactant and Polymer) flooding. We used an approach that models the behavior …

Several benefits of low salinity/engineered water injection (LSWI/EWI) have been reported in
the literature including its ability to increase oil recovery at low cost and with least …

Over the past decades, microemulsions have become increasingly attractive for application
in diverse areas of science and engineering mainly because of their high thermodynamic …

Several laboratory studies observed wettability alteration of carbonate rocks towards a more
water-wet state through modifying the composition of injected water. The change in …

Low salinity/engineered water injections (LSWI/EWI) have gained popularity as effective
techniques for enhancing oil recovery. Surfactant flooding is also a well-established and …
