Chelating agents reduce the salinity of seawater (SW) and mimic low salinity water (LSW) by
binding metal ions in the solution and on the rock surface. This process decreases SW …

Increasing demand and dwindling supply of crude oil have spurred efforts towards
enhancing heavy oil recovery. Recently, applications of ionic liquids (ILs) for heavy oil …

The mechanism model of both static and dynamic imbibition considering capillary pressure
and gravity was presented based on the imbibition mechanisms and seepage theory. The …

Miscible CO2 flooding has been used as an EOR method for carbonate reservoirs which
hold around 60% of the world's oil reserves. However, natural fractures, unfavorable mobility …

基于渗吸采油机理和渗流理论, 建立考虑重力和毛管压力的静态和动态渗吸机理数学模型,
并利用室内实验数据验证了模型的可靠性, 然后利用该模型研究了原油黏度, 基质渗透率 …

In this paper, the interfacial properties of a rock/heavy-oil/steam system were measured to
observe the degree of wettability alteration when adding new generation chemicals to steam …

Low permeability and tight oil reservoirs are rich in microscale pores and contain a large
amount of dissolved gas. With the progress of production, the volatile gas gradually forms a …

In recent years, chelating agents have garnered increasing attention due to their unique
capabilities in addressing challenges associated with chemically enhanced oil recovery …

Oil-wet reservoirs suffer from an incomplete oil recovery. It is possible to use nanoparticles
(NPs) to alter the reservoir rock wettability to a more water wet condition, and thus increase …

Dimethyl Ether (DME)-augmented brine injection is a novel Shell proprietary enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) method. An experimental and numerical study of the enhancement and the …
