This review discusses the application of emulsified acids for oil well stimulation. Types of oil,
aqueous solutions, and emulsifiers are discussed in detail along with the solid agents and …

Carbonate reservoirs generally achieved relatively low primary resource recovery rates. It is
therefore often necessary to clean those reservoirs up and/or stimulate them post drilling …

Magnetic surfactants are a special class of surfactants with magneto-responsive properties.
These surfactants possess lower critical micelle concentrations and are more effective in …

The objective of this review is to summarize progress in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using
emulsions. Recent developments in bulk emulsion characteristics, including emulsion phase …

In hydraulic fracturing, fracturing fluids are used to create fractures in a hydrocarbon
reservoir throughout transported proppant into the fractures. The application of many fields …

In reservoir conformance control, polymer gels and foams are majorly used; however, they
have drawbacks such as inducing formation damage, having weaker shear resistance …

To gain insight into the flow mechanisms and stress sensitivity for fractured-vuggy reservoirs,
several core models with different structural characteristics were designed and fabricated to …

Hydrocarbons are produced and transported in a form of mixtures containing oil, gas, and
water plus organic and inorganic contaminants. The flow presence of these contaminants …

For successful emulsified acid treatment, it is imperative to have emulsified acid that can
maintain a water-in-oil emulsion state for 24 h at room temperature and 4 h at high …

Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant was proven to be a reliable emulsifier
for creating stable emulsions used for drilling, well stimulation, and EOR. The presence of …
