Previous studies have reported contradictory behavior on the influence of salinity on
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals like surfactants, polymers, and nanoparticles …

The detachment of crude oil from calcite surface plays an important role in oil recovery and
wettability alteration during low salinity water flooding in carbonate reservoirs. The effects of …

Low salinity water flooding as a novel enhanced oil recovery method has gained increased
attention especially during the past decade. Akin to other methods, low salinity water …

Hydrocarbon-water interface plays an important role in many cases and industries.
However, the effect of polar oil molecules on hydrocarbon-water interfacial properties is still …

The invasion of aquifers into fractured gas reservoirs with edge water aquifers leads to rapid
water production in gas wells, which reduces their gas production. Natural fractures …

Low-salinity water flooding has become one of the major emerging enhanced oil recovery
techniques where lower salinity water is flooded into a hydrocarbon reservoir in order to …

Numerous mechanisms have been proposed to untangle the effect of a low concentration of
dissolved salts in the water flooding medium. One potential mechanism for enhanced oil …

Gypsum-salt rock is typically developed in carbonate reservoirs, and this rock has both
constructive and destructive effects on the reservoir. The ways in which gypsum rock …

Ions in brine significantly affect EOR. However, the mechanism of EOR with different brine is
still controversial. By Combining Molecular Dynamics (MD) method and Quartz Crystal …

In the era of dominance of renewable energies and the pandemic-affected world, oil
industries must produce oil from extant fields most economically. Further, increasing …
