Formulation is an ancient concept, although the word has been used only recently. The first
formulations made our civilization advance by inventing bronze, steel, and gunpowder; then …

The optimum formulation in a surfactant–oil–water (SOW) system is defined as the
physicochemical situation at which the surfactant adsorbed at the interface exhibits exactly …

Gas hydrates constitute a major flow assurance issue in the transportation of oil and gas
from the reservoir to the point of sale via pipelines. They can reduce or arrest the …

Interaction between surface active components in crude oils and nonionic surfactants plays
an important role in phase inversion behavior of crude oil emulsion, while the interaction …

Fundamental studies have improved understanding of molecular-level properties and
behavior in surfactant-oil-water (SOW) systems at equilibrium and under nonequilibrium …

This study provides valuable insights into biobased surfactant systems, shedding light on
their behavior and potential applications in cleaning and oil recovery processes. By …

A hydrate prevention strategy taking advantage of crude oil that exhibit hydrate non-
plugging tendency is a viable option in oilfield production conditions, or during transient …

The qualitative presentation from Winsor on an interfacial balance of interactions between
the surfactant and the oil and water phases has been transformed into a multivariable linear …

Shale cores, with their ultralow permeability, often require pressurization for saturation with
target fluids, as flow-through saturation is inefficient. This saturation method, when applied …

The presence of asphaltenes in crude oil is a key factor in stabilizing water-in-oil emulsions.
Changes in asphaltene aggregation have a definite effect on the formation of an elastic and …
