Waterflooding is the most common secondary recovery technique used in oil and gas
industries today, owing to its cheap investment cost and easy implementation. However …

The design of high performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with new chemistry was
the main challenge of membranologists in recent years. In this paper, extra high …

A MATLAB based finite volume CEOR simulator was developed for modeling the recovery of
oil by low salinity water polymer flooding (LSWPF) in a proposed geostatistical method of …

The combination of low salinity water with gas in the form of water alternating CO 2 injection
(CO2-LSWAG) is a promising EOR method that could simultaneously benefit from gas …

The main objective in this study is to experimentally elucidate the challenges associated
with smart water alternating CO 2 (smart WAG-CO 2) with regard to permeability impairment …

Low salinity water is an emerging enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method that causes
wettability alteration towards a favorable state to reduce residual oil saturation, while water …

Low salinity water injection (LSWI) has been studied by several researchers as an
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method in laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and …

Viscous fingering is a major obstacle to successful waterflooding in heavy oil reservoirs, as it
results in water breakthrough and an undeveloped oil bank. To overcome viscous fingering …

Smart waterflooding involves an injection of water that contains an optimum concentration of
electrolytes that are tailored to the rock-fluid characteristics of the target reservoir. The …

In the literature, improvement of oil recovery in smart water injection schemes has been
shown to be mediated by wettability alteration. This process reduces residual oil saturation …
