Surfactant adsorption has been a great challenge for surfactant-based chemically enhanced
oil recovery (cEOR) techniques as it directly reflects the overall efficiency of a cEOR project …

Surfactant flooding is one of the most effective methods of enhanced oil recovery, because it
helps to reduce oil-water interfacial tension and mobilize the residual oil. Surfactant …

The application of nanoparticles (NPs) in the oil and gas industry has received wide
attention in recent years because it is increasingly being considered a promising approach …

Spontaneous imbibition is an important phenomenon of fluid transports in porous media,
particularly in liquid environment with a certain range of interfacial tension and wettability …

Adding chemical additives such as surfactants and nanoparticles to the fracturing fluid is a
common field practice for enhanced water and oil recovery. However, measuring the …

In this work, the Sumatera bentonite was sodium-pillarized in a new low-temperature and
restricted time preparation route and then applied in anionic surfactant sodium lauryl …

The application of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the petroleum research area has
received ample attention in recent years owing to its impact on wettability-altering agents …

Surfactant flooding is an effective method for enhanced oil recovery, accompanied by the
adsorption of surfactant molecules during their transport in porous media. This paper studies …

In this work, four linear alkyl ether carboxylates (AECs) C11E5A, C11E11A, C12E4A, and
C12E7A were examined as agents for surfactant EOR. Their main properties that have a key …

This work evaluated the rock–fluid interactions of two linear alkyl ether carboxylate (AEC)
surfactants C11E11A and C12E7A in carbonates: wetting ability, ζ-potential, and adsorption …
