Here we provide a comprehensive study of the fundamental physics both numerically and analytically, of the combined influence of heterogeneity, viscous forces, gravity, and …
The enhanced oil recovery mechanisms in fractured reservoirs are complex and not fully understood. It is technically challenging to quantify the related driving forces and their …
Oil production from a fractured reservoir, composed of a gas cap and an oil zone, is usually accomplished using surface or submersible pumps. The production method is called …

This paper presents the use of intermittent vibration as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to enhance oil recovery (EOR). Previous research work has focused only …
Geological carbon storage in deep aquifers involves displacement of resident brine by supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2), which is an unstable drainage process caused by the invasion …
S Kim, JC Santamarina - International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2014 - Elsevier
Poor CO 2 displacement efficiency can exacerbate hydro-chemo-mechanically coupled phenomena in CO 2 storage reservoirs, increase the area affected by CO 2 in the reservoir …
Oil displacement and recovery efficiency during gas injection depends on the competition between driving forces and capillary resistance that is governed by gas–oil interfacial …
