One of the most commonly used methods of enhanced oil recovery for use in carbonate
reservoirs is the smart water injection method. Asphalt nitic compounds in the oil serve as …

Smart water injection is one of the engineering techniques to enhance oil recovery (EOR)
from carbonate and sandstone reservoirs that have been widely used in recent decades …

Emulsion formation plays an important role in enhanced oil recovery processes. Forming
water-oil emulsion droplets blocks channels through mechanisms of straining and …

Summary Using emulsions for Enhanced Oil Recovery has increased in recent years.
Emulsion injecting increases water viscosity and improves water displacing efficiency. Micro …

Smart water flooding is an advanced method for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in which the
composition of injected brine is altered by varying the concentration of selected ions that can …

The factors affecting the stability of a heavy crude oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by sodium
carbonate (Na2CO3) as a natural surfactant were studied. An Iranian heavy crude oil …

The alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding using sodium carbonate as the alkali
component to enhance oil recovery in the on shore oil fields at Daging and Shengli in China …

Migration of fines, and formation of oil emulsion have been independently observed during
smart water flooding both have been suggested to play a vital role in enhanced oil recovery …

Abstract Potential determining ions (SO 4 2−, Mg 2+, Na, and Ca 2+) positively affect oil
recovery. These ions can cause changes in the oil and water system due to their ionic radius …

Emulsification plays a crucial role in various areas. However, undesirable emulsions,
especially water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, formed during crude oil production, transportation …
