Despite the progress made on renewable energy, oil and gas remains the world's primary
energy source. Meanwhile, large amounts of oil deposits remain unrecovered after …

Chemicals are a pivotal part of many operations for the oil and gas industry. The purpose of
chemical application in the subsurface reservoir is to decrease the mobility ratio between the …

With a constant upsurge in energy demand, production from depleted and harsh reservoirs
through enhanced oil recovery techniques (EOR) has significantly increased. Among many …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are receiving substantial attention worldwide due
to the major decline in the available oil resources. However, lots of challenges and …

Hydrophilic silica nanoparticles alone are not surface active. They, however, develop a
strong electrostatic interaction with ionic surfactants and consequently affect their surface …

Nanoparticle-surfactants (NPSs) assembled at water–oil interfaces can significantly lower
the interfacial tension and can be used to stabilize liquids. Knowing the formation and …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been widely used to recover residual oil after the primary
or secondary oil recovery processes. Compared to conventional methods, chemical EOR …

Tailoring the oil/water (O/W) interface is a prerequisite for structuring these two immiscible
liquids into prescribed architectures, ie, liquid‐in‐liquid printing, which is an emerging area …

Hypothesis: Asphaltenes can form rigid interfacial films surrounding water droplets
rendering water separation from crude oil sluggish. Therefore, the quantitative …

Hypothesis The interactions between oppositely charged nanoparticles and surfactants can
significantly influence the interfacial properties of the system. Traditionally, in the study of …
