Extensive studies have been conducted on the efficacy of vegetable oils as surfactant
feedstocks for enhanced oil recovery. This has become necessary owing to environmental …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes are technologies used in the oil and gas industry to
maximize the extraction of residual oil from reservoirs after primary and secondary recovery …

Surfactant flooding is a method practiced for chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to
pursue oil displacement efficiency by lowering the interfacial tension and changing the …

Surfactant flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method for recovering residual oil in
the reservoir through mechanism of interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability …

The combined effect of ionic surfactants and inorganic salts on the interfacial properties is of
great importance to various industrial processes. In this work, the effect of ionic surfactants …

Surfactants are among the materials used to improve water properties for injection into oil
reservoirs, and reduce injection phase and crude oil interfacial tension (IFT). Recently, the …

To minimize environmental impact and costs, natural surfactants are suggested as an
ecologically sustainable replacement for synthetic surfactants. The aim of this work is to …

Production of crude oil from a matured oil reservoir is challenging due to the low recovery
factor. Hybrid methods have demonstrated potential in oil recovery from the matured crude …

Naturally fractured reservoirs are one of the hydrocarbon resources where the application of
foam flooding is particularly recommended, as foam can divert the flow of displacing fluid …

The surface characteristics of minerals have been crucial in predicting the interactions
between chemicals, particularly in chemical flooding. Thus, this paper evaluates the viability …
