Polymers play a significant role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their viscoelastic
properties and macromolecular structure. Herein, the mechanisms of the application of …

Chemical flooding plays an important role in enhancing oil recovery due to many reasons,
including the viscosity-increment effect of polymer, wettability alteration effect of surfactant …

Chemical-enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) is a class of techniques commonly used to extract
hydrocarbon fluids from reservoir rocks beyond conventional waterflooding. Surfactants are …

Surfactant formulations are optimized according to reservoir conditions to ensure their
efficiency in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This experimental study aimed to examine the …

Carboxy betaines CnZC (where n represents the carbon number of the alkyl chain, n= 12, 14
and 16) and extended surfactant C16P3E6S were combined to assess their potential …

The polymeric surfactant can be used as an efficient agent for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
because of its large bulk viscosity and good interfacial activity. However, there is a sparse …

There are more than 40% remaining oil trapped in the reservoir in the mature oilfield even
after second and tertiary recovery processes. High performance chemical agent was …

The flow of two immiscible liquids in porous media can lead to fluid mixing, resulting in
emulsions—where one phase is dispersed as droplets in the other. In reservoir rocks …

Shale oil reservoirs have a large number of micrometer-and nanometer-scale pores, which
significantly affect the wettability of shale oil flow. In this paper, the wettability control mode of …

The performance of water-soluble polymers is dependent on the structural characteristics of
their side chains. In this study, we synthesized a trident-like functional monomer, AC-1810 …
