The primary production from unconventional reservoirs remains almost low, so applying
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods is inevitable. Due to the different structures of these …

Various studies report that aside from the adverse impact of the crude oil on the marine
environment, there is the likelihood that chemical dispersants used on the surface of water …

This study used core and thin section analysis to investigate the time of soaking and factors
that affect the mechanisms presented in the low salinity water (LSW) process. Applying a …

New approaches to low salinity water (LSW) injection methods, such as LSW/surfactant,
LSW/polymer, and LSW/nanofluid flooding, have been studied for oil reservoirs. Numerous …

Asphaltene deposition in near-wellbore tight carbonate formations has detrimental
influences on the well productivity index and, thus, causes a loss in oil production …

Smart water flooding has recently been considered as an attractive EOR method due to its
lack of expensive chemicals. Alterations in oil/brine/rock interactions in porous media, such …

This paper aims to investigate the tragacanth gum potential as a natural polymer combined
with natural clay mineral (montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite) nanoparticles (NPs) to form …

In this study, wettability alteration, fine migration, and double-layer expansion mechanisms
in a particular condition are investigated to find the predominant mechanism. Amott-Harvey …
