Undesirable gas channeling always occurs along the high-permeability layers in heterogeneous oil reservoirs during water-alternating-CO 2 (WAG) flooding, and …
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 …
Water injection into an aquifer is generally motivated by one of three objectives: disposal, managed aquifer recharge (MAR), or aquifer storage and recovery (ASR). Any of these …
Fines migration is crucial for reservoir permeability, involving both fine particle detachment and re-deposition along the flow channels. Fines migration behavior can either promote or …

Low salinity effects (LSE) improved recovery could be obtained by reducing salinity and/or modifying the specific ions of injected brines. Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) is described …
Recent experiments on sandstone rocks found more fines migration at higher temperature. They attributed this to temperature-dependent zeta potential. However, temperature also …
