This paper provides an introduction to the topic of water shutoff and conformance
improvement. After indicating the volumes of water produced during oilfield operations, a …

This review presents our perspective on the factors that have brought polymer flooding to its
current state. Insights are provided on why HPAM is the dominant polymer used as well as …

For CO 2 storage in subsurface reservoirs, one of the most crucial requirements is the ability
to remediate the leakage caused by the natural fractures or newly generated fractures due to …

This paper examines oil displacement as a function of polymer-solution viscosity during
laboratory studies in support of a polymer flood in Canada's Cactus Lake Reservoir. When …

Foamability and foam stability are of main concerns in foam displacement for enhanced oil
recovery. This work presents the output of systematic laboratory screening of foamability and …

This paper examines literature that claims, suggests, or implies that floods with “colloidal
dispersion gels”(CDGs) are superior to polymer floods for oil recovery. The motivation for …

Formation and flow of emulsions in porous media are common in all enhanced oil recovery
techniques. In most cases, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are formed in porous media due to …

The study presents a new crosslinked gels composition for water shutoff operations. The
rheological behavior, PSD of kernel solution, propagation capacity and obtained RF/RRF …

This study aimed to develop novel bio-nanofluids using Solanum torvum extracts in synergy
with nanoparticles of different chemical nature as a proposal sustainable for enhanced oil …

Gas breakthrough is becoming an increasingly common problem, with a growing number of
gas-and-oil fields being developed. Gas-and-oil fields are usually characterized by a …
