In this review, an attempt has been taken to show the preferential selection criteria of
microemulsions and nanoemulsions for applications in enhanced oil recovery. This paper …

The trend of growing interest in alternative source of energy focuses on renewable products
worldwide. However, the situation of petroleum industries in many countries needs much …

A comprehensive understanding of interfacial behavior in water/oil/surfactant systems is
critical to evaluating the performance of emulsions in various industries, specifically in the oil …

The worldwide demand of energy sources is increasing day by day. The trend of growing
interest on renewable products is also increasing widely. Regardless of the advances of …

Spontaneous imbibition has been proved to be a promising enhanced oil recovery method
for tight reservoirs, but the mechanisms of spontaneous imbibition oil recovery (SIOR) are …

Physical, structural and thermal properties of emulsion film based on fish skin gelatin
containing palm oil at different levels (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, based on protein), were …

Since conventional oil recovery techniques only produce a limited fraction of the original oil
in place (OOIP), the need for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods has become …

With the increasing energy demand, oil is still an important fuel source worldwide. The
chemical flooding process is used in petroleum engineering to increase the recovery of …

Reducing the oil-water interfacial tension (IFT) to ultra-low is believed the primary
mechanism for surfactant-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. However, field trials …
