This review analyses the fundamental thermodynamic theory of the crude oil-brine-rock (COBR) interface and the underlying rock-brine and oil-brine interactions. The available …
Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has attracted attention of numerous researchers as a promising technique for enhanced oil recovery, yet its application is still limited because of …
Water can be magnetized under an applied magnetic field, and some important properties of magnetized water have become useful in industries associated with its surface tension, pH …
Abstract Characterization of fluid–rock interactions is essential for a broad range of subsurface applications such as understanding fluid flow in porous medium and enhanced …
Fruit orchards are frequently irrigated with brackish water. Irrigation with poor quality water is also a major cause of salt accumulation in soil. An excess of salts results in stunted growth …
Understanding the rock/fluid interaction is key to the success of any enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method. However, EOR methods are significantly affected when the reservoir …
Surfactant formulations are optimized according to reservoir conditions to ensure their efficiency in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This experimental study aimed to examine the …
