Crude oil emulsions are commonly encountered in oilfield-related industries. Some of these
emulsions are formed in-situ during the tertiary enhanced oil recovery process. Additionally …

This review explores the stability of emulsion explosive, through summarizing its instability
reason, stability mechanism, affecting factors, improvement ways and evaluation methods …

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 …

In this paper, an ionic liquid (DEBIL) was synthesized by a simple and controllable method.
The chemical structure was verified by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR, and the …

In-situ emulsification has recently shown promise for increasing oil production in water
flooding reservoirs owing to its easy procedure and polymer and surfactant properties. The …

The microscopic interactions between oil droplets during the coalescence process have an
important impact on the stability of the emulsion. In this paper, a model that can present the …

Acid stimulation is one of the most common chemical approaches to overcome the reduction
of crude oil production due to clogging of oil formation passages. Nonetheless, in this …

Amino acid-based surfactants (AASs) and other novel surfactants have recently gained
attention to provide a favorable environmental image (“green”) in surfactant application. Yet …

In microfluidic studies of improved oil recovery, mostly pore networks with uniform depth and
surface chemistry are used. To better mimic the multiple porosity length scales and surface …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) is a popular enhanced oil recovery method, which is
mainly grounded on rock wettability improvement. Nevertheless, according to recent studies …
