Waterflooding has been applied for many years as secondary recovery method with no or
little regard to the effect of the injected water salinity on oil recovery. However, in the last …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSWF) and its variants also known as smart water or ion tuned
water injection have emerged as promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. LSWF is …

Smart Water flooding, as an emerged technique in improving reservoir performance,
demands systematic research. Determining the effective range of water ionic concentration …

Understanding crude oil/brine interface chemistry is essential to elucidating the effect of low-
salinity waterflooding (LSWF) on enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The acid and base functional …

Chemical enhanced oil recovery often involves the injection of chemicals, such as
surfactants, polymers, nanoparticles, and macromolecules. These chemicals are to alter the …

Low-salinity water flooding (LSWF) is a technique used in both improved oil recovery (IOR)
and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and may be employed at any stage of hydrocarbon …

Low-salinity water (LSW) flooding is an attractive enhanced oil recovery (EOR) option, but its
mechanism leading to EOR is poorly understood, especially in carbonate rock. In this paper …

This study bridges a knowledge gap in oil recovery mechanisms by investigating the
influence of water salinity and ion type on oil displacement within porous media, under …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has been receiving an increasing attention in the industry
as it has several advantages over alternative strategies to enhanced oil recovery (EOR), ie i) …

This paper investigates the main reason behind two low-salinity waterflooding (LSW)
coreflood tests, that failed to demonstrate promising EOR response; additional oil recovery …
