The positive effect of modified salinity water (MSW) injection on oil recovery has been
broadly reported in the literature through core flooding experiment tests. Yet, the challenges …

Low salinity water flooding (LSWF) has gained wide attention due to low-cost accessibility
and environmental friendly characteristics of the method. Since now a profound …

In this work, the process of low salinity water injection (LSWI) into reservoirs at various salt
concentrations was simulated in order to study the change in the oil recovery factor during …

To reduce the unwanted water and further enhance oil recovery, a profile control agent,
named polymer microspheres (PMs), was synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization …

To date, many laboratory-based core scale (ie flooding) studies have focused on relatively
homogeneous rock samples (eg Berea sandstone) to study the migration characteristics of …

Waterflooding is applied worldwide to improve oil recovery. Due to the complexity of the
crude oil-brine-rock interactions, the mechanism behind the low saline enhanced oil …

In the last few years it has become widely accepted in the industry that Low Salinity Flooding
(LSF) works by changing reservoir wettability towards a more water-wet state. Most of the …

Although there are many studies regarding the effect of temperature on relative permeability,
there is no consensus on this issue. Here we examine the role of oil/water viscosity ratio in …

Temperature has a significant effect on oil–water relative permeability, which is very
important in reservoir development. Considerable controversy persists regarding the effects …

The ultimate recovery factor in tight and shale resources is limited and is usually in the range
of 5–10%. Although high-intensity fracturing and refracturing can increase recovery, an …
