The wettability of carbonate rocks is often oil-wet or mixed wet. A large fraction of oil is still
remained in carbonate reservoirs, it is therefore of particular significance to implement …

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 …

Wettability, a fundamental property of porous surface, occupies a pivotal position in the fields
of enhanced oil recovery, organic contaminant adsorption and oil/water separation. In this …

More than half of the global oil reserves are in carbonate reservoirs. Carbonate rocks,
however, in most cases tend to be mixed-wet or oil-wet. Wettability alteration of carbonate …

Wettability modification plays a pivotal role in augmenting oil recovery from hydrocarbon
reservoirs, rendering it a primary focal point during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) …

The key mechanisms in enhancing crude oil recovery include the reduction of interfacial
tension (IFT) between the trapped crude oil and the injected flooding solution, the wettability …

In this article, we present a holistic approach to predict the interfacial activity of
surfactant/polymer/nanoparticle stabilized Pickering nanoemulsions. Dynamic interfacial …

Surfactant flooding is a method practiced for chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to
pursue oil displacement efficiency by lowering the interfacial tension and changing the …

Experimental observations and field applications have revealed that surfactants have
significant potential to enhance oil recovery in unconventional liquid reservoirs (ULR). This …

Surfactants, which possess ability to alter rock surface wettability and reduce interfacial
tension (IFT), are effective additives for imbibition enhanced oil recovery (IEOR) in low …
