Low-salinity water flooding (LSW) is a promising new technique for enhancing oil recovery
(EOR) in both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The potential of LSW has drawn the …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is used to retrieve capillary trapped and bypassed oil in the
reservoir. Accordingly, laboratory and field applications of chemical EOR (CEOR) methods …

Synthetic chemical surfactants deployed in the petroleum industry to improve oil recovery to
meet growing global energy demand are described to have detrimental environmental …

Low salinity waterflooding has become increasingly popular to improve recovery efficiency
in matured oil fields. Numerous underlying mechanisms behind the low salinity …

Low salinity waterflooding is a low-cost method of enhancing oil recovery although, no
consistent concept has been established explaining why some oil-fields show an increase in …

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 …

Low salinity water flooding (LSWF) has gained wide attention due to low-cost accessibility
and environmental friendly characteristics of the method. Since now a profound …

Low salinity water injection (LSWI) is considered to be more cost-effective and has less
environmental impacts over conventional chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods …

It has previously been suggested that a local pH increase at pore surfaces is responsible for
desorption of polar oil components and wettability alteration in sandstone reservoirs, leading …

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 …
