The primary production from unconventional reservoirs remains almost low, so applying enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods is inevitable. Due to the different structures of these …
Low salinity waterflooding (LSWF) and its variants also known as smart water or ion tuned water injection have emerged as promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. LSWF is …
Migration of clay fines can be a concern when less saline fluids are injected into brine‐ saturated sandstone formations containing clays. If the salinity near fluid injection wells …
This study used core and thin section analysis to investigate the time of soaking and factors that affect the mechanisms presented in the low salinity water (LSW) process. Applying a …
New approaches to low salinity water (LSW) injection methods, such as LSW/surfactant, LSW/polymer, and LSW/nanofluid flooding, have been studied for oil reservoirs. Numerous …

Smart water flooding has recently been considered as an attractive EOR method due to its lack of expensive chemicals. Alterations in oil/brine/rock interactions in porous media, such …
Using seawater or engineered water to inject into oil formations can cause inorganic scaling, such as calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, and strontium sulfate. These scales may clog pore …
This paper aims to investigate the tragacanth gum potential as a natural polymer combined with natural clay mineral (montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite) nanoparticles (NPs) to form …
In this study, wettability alteration, fine migration, and double-layer expansion mechanisms in a particular condition are investigated to find the predominant mechanism. Amott-Harvey …
