Global energy demand has been in an increasing trend over the last decades and it will
continue to be in the same trend in the years to come. In order to match the demand, the oil …

Enhancing oil recovery (EOR) through water flooding methods, including smart water
injection, low salinity water injection, polymer injection, and surfactant injection has become …

We propose a new method to predict the injectivity decline for water-injection wells. Both
internal and external filtration are considered in this method. A transition time from internal to …

Current experience shows, it is often impossible to fulfill certain functional tasks that are
essential in challenging drilling and production environments using conventional macro and …

A new model was developed to predict wellbore impairment by internal filter-cake formation
during water injection. In the model, formation damage is approached semiempirically; no …

The injection of seawater into oilfield reservoirs to maintain reservoir pressure and improve
secondary recovery is a well-established, mature, operation. Moreover, the degree of risk …

Damage and clogging of the granular structure of reservoirs are commonly observed during
the re-injection of produced water containing solid particles and oil droplets. These …

Asphaltene deposition in porous media has a destructive effect on well productivity during
primary and secondary oil recovery. Previous research studies have presented models for …

This paper presents results from an experimental study on formation damage associated
with simulated produced oily water injection. Core flooding experiments were carried out …

Water quality is an important consideration in the design of a cost-effective reservoir
maintenance or secondary oil recovery project. Proper filtration equipment selection often is …
