A key parameter in tracing tests is the selection of the molecules used as water tracers.
Many previous tests have failed because of improper selection of these molecules. To …

Lower order faults (LOFs) are characterized by small‐scale, strong concealment and difficult
to identify in seismic data, which affects the accuracy of LOF interpretation. Due to the quality …

Climate change has significantly impacted the availability of freshwater in several countries,
particularly the African continent. In parallel, the increasing demand for water supply for …

Quantification of wettability inside a porous medium is challenging. Most of the currently
available methods use either a proxy surface of the porous solid or a small sample of the …

In the oil and gas industry, tracers are used to estimate residual oil saturation, to indicate the
location and orientation of fractures in tight reservoirs, to identify and mark the direction of …

Conductive geological faults in oil reservoirs have a major impact in the efficiency of fluid-
flooding and enhanced oil recovery schemes. Inter-well tracer tests are a traditional mean to …

The Laplace transformation technique has been widely applied to modeling of tracer
transport in oil and geothermal reservoirs, and in groundwater aquifers. However …

This study is aimed at giving some insights on kinetics, adsorption and partitioning of ethyl
acetate during a single well tracer test. Synthetic formation water, an specific crude oil and a …

We performed a linear stability analysis of Poiseuille flow in a parallel-plate channel filled
with fluid-saturated multilayer porous media. To investigate the effect of the porous layer …

Faults are one of the most important geological structures that control the occurrence of
groundwater due to their unique fault zone fabrics that differ from the country rock. In hard …
