Hypothesis It is generally believed that the improved efficiency of surfactant enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) comes from ultra-low interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and surfactant …

Recovery in carbonate reservoirs is challenging because they are often oil wet and highly
fractured. Surfactant flooding has been proposed as a possible enhanced oil recovery …

Hypothesis The emulsification of water and crude oil is typically examined and optimized in
test tubes by optical means, that is, mixed under turbulent conditions and detected outside …

Surfactants induce spontaneous imbibition of water into oil‐wet porous media by wettability
alteration and interfacial‐tension (IFT) reduction. Although the dependence of imbibition on …

This thesis presents a framework for history matching and model calibration of surfactant-
polymer (SP) flooding. At first, a high-fidelity mechanistic SP flood model is constructed by …

Micro-organisms exist, naturally and otherwise, across a plethora of habitats around us,
ranging from inside our own bodies to some of the most uninhabitable places on Earth. They …
