Hypothesis. A large number of papers discuss merits and mechanisms of low salinity
waterflooding. For each mechanism proposed, there are counter examples to invalidate the …

Detailed investigation of the time-scale and the combined effect of fluid-rock and fluid–fluid
phenomena in low-salinity enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is essential to gain fundamental …

Immiscible liquid-liquid interfaces have widespread applications in drug delivery, oil-water
separation, oil recovery, emulsion and foam stability, etc. Here, a dense viscoelastic …

Spontaneous emulsification near the oil–water interface and destabilization of water-in-oil
emulsions in the bulk oil phase may affect the efficiency of improved oil recovery. In this …

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is critical for reducing CO 2 emissions and
mitigating climate change. However, two major technical hurdles must be addressed for …

Despite many attempts to study the interaction of fluids in low-salinity flooding, they do not
examine the principles of interphasic transition phenomena. This study aims to provide a …

We study the influence of cellulose nanocrystals on the oil–water interfacial viscoelasticity
and consequently on the emulsification and the three-phase (oil–water–solid) contact-line …

The properties of interfaces between two immiscible fluids, as engineered by interfacial
materials, are crucial in various processes, including printing, coating, and multiphase flow …

This study bridges a knowledge gap in oil recovery mechanisms by investigating the
influence of water salinity and ion type on oil displacement within porous media, under …

The dew point pressure can be obtained by conventional condensate gas phase test in PVT
cylinders. However, in condensate gas reservoirs, the fluid interacts with the fractured-vuggy …
