This study reviews the mechanism of microwave irradiation and the affecting parameters,
including heating rate, particle size, catalysts, and supercritical fluids on the microwave …

Asphaltene is one of the polar and heavy fractions of crude oil that is complex from a
molecular perspective. For this reason, the interaction between asphaltene molecules and …

Condensate and water banking around gas condensate wells result in vital well
deliverability issues. Wettability alteration of near wellbore region to gas wetting condition is …

Asphaltene precipitation is one of the main technical challenges during the miscible gas
injection. The asphaltene may deposit on the rock surface and it may change the reservoir …

In the last decade, there has been a swift development in several scientific research works in
which the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique has played a critical role in …

Mechanism of asphaltene disaggregation by alkylated treatment was revealed
experimentally and theoretically. Significant increases both in inter-sheet distance and …

In times of increasing crude oil demand, enhanced oil recovery methods, such as CO2
flooding, are gaining interest as alternative approaches to more efficient oil extraction. In …

In this study, some new aspects of adsorption of a fluorochemical onto carbonate rocks as a
wettability alteration agent to a gas wetting condition with the potential application for …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have remarkable features which make them applicable in numerous
processes as environmentally friendly and promising chemicals. However, high viscosity …

In recent years, chemical solvents have played an effective role in petroleum laboratory and
field environments. In this study, calcite samples of an oil reservoir from southern Iran were …
