The nature of carbonate reservoirs promotes the adsorption of oil onto the rock surface
hence making oil recovery a challenge even with the interventions of varied chemical EOR …

Low salinity waterflood (LSW) has become an attractive enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
method as it shows more advantages than conventional chemical EOR methods in terms of …

Low-salinity water flooding (LSWF) is an emerging and inexpensive enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) method. The technique hinges on the following concept: as salinity of injected water …

Polymer flooding can significantly improve sweep and delay breakthrough of injected water,
thereby increasing oil recovery. Polymer viscosity degrades in reservoirs with high-salinity …

Low salinity waterflood (LSW) has become an attractive enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
method as it shows more advantages than conventional chemical EOR methods in terms of …

A thorough literature review is conducted that pertains to low-salinity-based enhanced oil
recovery (EOR). This is meant to be a comprehensive review of all the refereed published …

Crude oil, water and rock (CWR) surface chemistry is a key parameter in oil and gas
recovery from hydrocarbon reservoirs. This paper presents the chemistry of CWR interaction …

We discuss the governing system for oil–water flow with varying water composition. The
model accounts for wettability alteration, which affects the relative permeability, and for …

We have applied UTCHEM-IPhreeqc to investigate low-salinity (LS) waterflooding and LS
surfactant (LSS) flooding. Numerical-simulation results were compared with laboratory …

The past decades have witnessed a rapid development of enhanced oil recovery
techniques, among which the effect of salinity has become a very attractive topic due to its …
