As the global oil market continues to tighten, there is an increasing focus on enhancing oil
recovery. However, enhanced oil recovery technologies require the addition of chemical …

Abstract Among the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods, gas-based EOR methods are
very popular all over the world. The gas injection has a high ability to increase microscopic …

Under the guidance of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality strategies, the recovery,
emission reduction, and effective utilization of industrial CO2 are particularly important …

Crude oil is one of the most significant petrogenic sources of polycyclic aromatic compounds
(PACs). These substances play an essential role in the pollution of the marine environment …

Fouling is one of the leading causes of energy loss in oil industry, particularly in preheat
exchangers of refineries and desalting units. For each day that an oil operation unit …

Resin molecules play a crucial role in the stability of colloidal asphaltene particles in
petroleum reservoirs. De-stabilization of the asphaltene/resin interaction due to changes in …

Hydrocarbon-bearing formations have a life cycle that starts with initial development and
ends with abandoning the formation once depleted. The number of abandoned reservoirs is …

Coating is increasingly used as a cost-effective strategy for controlling heavy component
deposition in waxy crude oil transportation flowlines. This paper systematically investigated …

As a crucial component of the oil transportation system, the oil terminal (or oil tank farm) may
often appear some serious threats and damage to ecological environment and production …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and surface-active polyaromatic compounds in crude oil. Their
precipitation and deposition on sand surfaces switch the wettability of sand from water-wet to …
