Formation damage is a problem that occurs in several scenarios where the permeability and
productivity of a reservoir are negatively affected, bringing high economic losses and many …

A laboratory study has been undertaken on the effect of permeability variation during low-
salinity water injection as a function of kaolinite content in the rock. A novel methodology of …

Enhanced oil recovery by low-salinity waterflooding (LSW) has been shown to result from
the combined effect of various physical mechanisms. In this study, laboratory experiments …

At present, large quantities of experiments related to stress sensitivities on the macroscale
have been conducted. Pore structure is complicated, especially in unconventional reservoirs …

This paper examines an application of the method of characteristics (MOC) to evaluate the
effectiveness of nanoparticles to mitigate fines migration in porous media. The positive …

This study presents a systematic experimental methodology to investigate permeability
damage caused by fines migration. The workflow starts with a thorough characterization of a …

Low-salinity water (LSW) has been confirmed as a promising improved oil recovery
technique. Implementing this technique, in some cases, induces fines migration and has …

Managed aquifer recharge is a water storage and recovery method. However, fines
migration during water injection can significantly affect formation permeability. Several …

Low-permeability sandy conglomerate reservoirs are inevitably vulnerable to interaction with
foreign fluids, which seriously affects oil recovery. Hydraulic fracturing, which is normally …
