Pipeline corrosion is a major challenge facing many oil and gas industries today because of
the enormous downtime associated with corrosion related failures. Fatigue stress initiation in …

Carbonated water injection (CWI) is a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique in
which the dissolved CO 2 can transfer to the oil phase to improve the oil mobility and to …

Hydrocarbon production, gas recovery from shale, CO2 storage and water management
have a common scientific underpinning: multiphase flow in porous media. This book …

The recovery of tight formation is fairly low after depletion, and the poor physical properties
make it difficult for water to be injected. And when the oil is with high wax content, it is more …

Nanofluids have been proposed as potential enhanced oil recovery agents and additives to
hydraulic fracturing fluids. The underlying mechanisms responsible for effectiveness of these …

We establish a unique approach to measure in-situ contact angle from micro-CT images
acquired during two-and three-phase miniature core-flooding experiments in order to …

Perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) is coupled with Young–
Laplace equation to investigate and represent fluid-phase equilibria in nanosize pores. The …

Water injection is one of the most popular oil recovery methods in oil industry. Investigations
have been carried out to find a more effective oil recovery fluid since the first practices of …

We investigated spontaneous imbibition behavior, three-dimensional fluid occupancy maps,
and in-situ wettability at the nano scale in five ultra-tight and shale reservoir rock samples …

Abstract Although the terms Low Salinity Sea Water and Smart Sea Water have been used
interchangeably as one of Enhanced Oil Recovery methods in recent years, the present …
