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 the petroleum industry, oil and water emulsions are frequent, not only in oilfield operations
but also during the transportation and refining processes. Once depicting emulsion …

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 …

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 …

Nearly half of the world's oil reserves are found in carbonate reservoirs, which have
heterogeneous formation characteristics and are naturally fractured. Because of the …

The objective of this report is to investigate the inhibition of cationic gemini-surfactants
based on waste cooking, as a green source of inhibitors against acidic corrosion of N80 …

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 …

Surfactants play a vital role in chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR). The amount of
surfactant loss caused by retention during flooding through reservoir rock is still a challenge …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is used to retrieve capillary trapped and bypassed oil in the
reservoir. Accordingly, laboratory and field applications of chemical EOR (CEOR) methods …

The global lithium supply and demand in this century is accelerated by the energy transition
from carbon-based fossil fuels to renewable energy where electrical energy storage and …
