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 …

Analysis of fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs), as a highly heterogeneous and
complex system, requires a detailed study of the fracture-matrix interactions. The main …

The use of green, eco-friendly, efficient, and sustainable surfactants for enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) is of great importance. In this study, a novel and unique natural surfactant …

In recent decades, low salinity water flooding (LSWF) has gained much attention from both
the industry and academia due to its effectiveness in oil recovery. Many efforts are still going …

Fine particles are released from sandstone reservoirs at a salinity known as the critical salt
concentration (CSC), which is strongly dependent on monovalent and divalent ions in the …

The critical salt concentration (CSC) of injected water used for various water-based oil
recovery operations is the salt concentration below which fine particles are released and …

Previous studies have reported contradictory behavior on the influence of salinity on
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals like surfactants, polymers, and nanoparticles …

In the petroleum industry, the remaining oil is often extracted using conventional chemical
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, such as polymer flooding. Nanoparticles have …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has attracted great
attention due to its potential to increase ultimate recovery from mature oil reservoirs. Despite …

The high efficiency of Low Salinity Water (LSW) injection in carbonates, leading to rock
wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet and, hence, resulting in better oil …
