Spontaneous imbibition of water from fracture into the matrix is considered as one of the
most important recovery mechanisms in the fractured porous media. However, water cannot …

Abstract Low Salinity Waterflooding (LSWF) has become a popular tertiary injection EOR
method recently. Both fluid-fluid and fluid-rock interactions are suggested as the contributing …

Stabilization mechanisms of water-in-oil emulsions have been well studied. The process of
dehydration with demulsifiers in these previous works have focused primarily on macro …

Previous studies have reported contradictory behavior on the influence of salinity on
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals like surfactants, polymers, and nanoparticles …

Generating in-situ foam is regarded as one of the most promising techniques to overcome
gas mobility issues and improve sweep efficiency in both miscible and immiscible gas …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSWF) is a process in which by lowering the ionic strength
and/or manipulation of the composition of the injection water, the long term equilibrium in …

For decades now, low salinity water flooding (LSWF) oil recovery has emerged as an
environmentally benign and cost-effective method for improved oil recovery, where research …

In this study, we summarize and discuss the data reported from a series of multiscale
experiments to explore the interactions of salinity and aqueous ions at fluid/fluid and …

Despite numerous studies on the low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) technique, a robust
predictive capability has not yet been established. Predictive capability development is …

Oil/water interfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Opposing polarities at these interfaces attract
surface-active molecules, which can seed complex viscoelastic or even solid interfacial …
