Emulsions frequently encountered in petroleum production, include water-in-oil (W/O)
emulsions, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, and water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions, which …

This review analyses the fundamental thermodynamic theory of the crude oil-brine-rock
(COBR) interface and the underlying rock-brine and oil-brine interactions. The available …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has attracted attention of numerous researchers as a
promising technique for enhanced oil recovery, yet its application is still limited because of …

Formation damage caused by fine migration and straining is a well-documented
phenomenon in sandstone reservoirs. Fine migration and the associated permeability …

Peppermint oil (PO) is one of the most popular and widely used essential oils. However, due
to volatile and poor water solubility of volatile oil, its application in the fields of medicine and …

Municipal sludge is an inevitable byproduct during the treatment of wastewater, which is
produced by sewage treatment plants in urban residential areas, and it contains pathogens …

Carbon geo-sequestration (CGS) is considered a mitigation technology for removing harmful
CO2 accumulations from the environment contributing toward a low-carbon future. One of …

The impact of ionic association with the carbonate surface and its influence toward
carbonate wettability remains unclear and is an important topic of interest in the current …

After testing proposed models in the literature on sandstones and carbonates, we propose a
mechanistic surface-complexation-based model that quantitatively describes observations …
