Most oil fields today are mature, and the majority of the reservoirs in the Middle East are
carbonate rocks characterized by high temperature high salinity (HTHS), heterogeneous …

Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration (WA) are important enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) mechanisms that help displace residual oil from the reservoir. Many studies …

Aluminum–silicon alloys have become a preferred option in the automotive and aerospace
industries thanks to their fault-tolerant process ability and reasonable static characteristics at …

For a variety of applications, the brass alloy has been utilized to replace titanium tubes in
heat exchangers. Copper alloys' high corrosion rate during the acid cleaning procedure …

Surfactants are commonly used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications in carbonate
hydrocarbon reservoirs due to their ability to reduce oil/water interfacial tension (IFT) and/or …

The swelling of shale formation upon exposure to water-based drilling fluids leads to several
problems. Common shale (clay) inhibitors used in the industry have several shortcomings …

Water-based drilling fluids are extensively used for drilling oil and gas wells. However, water-
based muds cause clay swelling, which severely affects the stability of wellbore. Due to two …

The inhibition of shale from swelling and hydration is the primary concern in the drilling
process of the oil and gas industry. In this study, the effect of two gemini surfactants having …

In this study, we successfully synthesized a new bisphenyl sulphonate Gemini surfactant
(BPSG) from lignin using a simple method. And a comprehensive evaluation of the …

During well completion operations, the wells are killed with specific fluids to control the well.
These fluids can invade and damage the formation because of fluid/rock interactions. Fluids …
