In-situ recovery of bitumen involves high-temperature conditions yielded by a steam
injection process, making it costly to produce, along with an extensive environmental …

Nanoclay materials have a wide range of industrial applications. The structural design of
kaolinite (Kaol) is beneficial to expand its application and improve the high value-added …

This review discusses the theoretical basis and examples of implementation of various
molecular modeling approaches to the investigation of the properties of surfactants. These …

Waterflooding in tight reservoirs is a key focus in the recent oilfield development, making it
essential to accurately assess the injection rate effect in tight sandstone. This study …

In this study, we explore the impact of monovalent (NaCl) and divalent (CaCl2) brines,
coupled with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant at varying low concentrations, on the …

Low-salinity flooding has been well recognized as a promising strategy to increase shale oil
recovery, but the underlying mechanism remains unclarified, especially for complex …

The exploration and exploitation of shale oil resources enhance the necessity to
characterize the mobility of the occluded oil in shales. Up to now, the understanding of the …

In this article, the molecular level investigation on the detachment process of the alkane
contaminant from the fused silica surface in nonionic surfactant solution is performed by …
