Due to the challenges of discovering new energy sources, enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
techniques remain a potential area of research interest to produce residual oil in matured …

In this work, the process of low salinity water injection (LSWI) into reservoirs at various salt
concentrations was simulated in order to study the change in the oil recovery factor during …

Oil recoveries from medium and heavy oil reservoirs under natural recovery production are
small because of the high viscosity of the oil. Normal water flooding procedures are usually …

Polymers increase the macroscopic efficiency of the flooding process and increase crude oil
recovery. The viscosity of 3 polymers xanthan, guar, and Arabic gums is measured in the lab …

The enhancement of oil recovery (EOR) through low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) and the
emerging hybrid with a polymer (LSP) has proven to be effective at microscale investigations …

Oil rim reservoirs are characterised with a small thickness relative to their overlying gas caps
and underlying aquifers and the development these reservoirs are planned very carefully in …

This chapter deals with the different scenarios of the combined chemical methods for
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) purposes. The efficiency of each method depends on the …

Reservoirs producing heavy crude oil (gravities< 20) pose serious production challenges
due to oil's highly viscous nature. The risks of optimizing oil production from these reserves …

Thin oil rim reservoirs are predominantly those with pay thickness of less than 100 ft. Oil
production challenges arise due to the nature of the gas cap and aquifer in such reservoirs …

Thin oil rim are reservoirs with hydrocarbon pay zone not more than 100 ft. Production
challenges mainly water, and gas coning arises due to this trait and presence of a larger gas …
