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 …

Chemicals are a pivotal part of many operations for the oil and gas industry. The purpose of
chemical application in the subsurface reservoir is to decrease the mobility ratio between the …

Gemini surfactants are a group of novel surfactants with more than one hydrophilic head
group and hydrophobic tail group linked by a spacer at or near the head groups. Unique …

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 …

The current and prospective worldwide energy demands have led either to start exploiting
the more difficult and costly unconventional oil reserves, or to maximize the exploitation of …

Rational utilization of soil resources and remediation of contaminated soils are imperative
due to the rapidly growing demand for clean soils. Currently, many in-situ remediation …

Chemical flooding has been found to be one of the major EOR techniques especially for
reservoirs where thermal methods are not feasible. The application of chemical flooding is …

Pickering emulsion offers potential applications in several fields including oil and gas
industry due to their enhanced stability. Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions are usually stabilized …

The role of nanoparticles in enhancing oil recovery from oil reservoirs is an increasingly
important topic of research. Nanoparticles have the properties that are potentially useful for …

Since conventional oil recovery techniques only produce a limited fraction of the original oil
in place (OOIP), the need for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods has become …
