Data Analytics of Wettability Alteration with Surfactants in Carbonate Reservoirs
… with surfactants has been widely applied to improve oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs. An effective surfactant huff-puff application design requires comprehensive guidelines about where, how, and when this method could be applied. Besides, traditional methods to design an effective …

Comprehensive evaluation of a novel EOR method-coupling low salinity water flooding and preformed particle gel to enhance oil recovery in fractured reservoirs
<p>"Excess water production in oil fields is becoming a challenging economic and environmental problem as more reservoirs are maturing. Water channeling, one of the primary reservoir conformance problems, is caused by reservoir heterogeneities that lead to the development of high-permeability …

Novel insights into low salinity water flooding enhanced oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs
… global energy demand and the natural decline in oil production from mature oil fields have been the main incentives to search for methods to increase recovery efficiency for several decades. Water flooding is extensively applied worldwide to improve oil recovery. The recent drop in oil prices has …

Factors impacting the transport and enhanced oil recovery potential of polymeric nanogel in sandstone
"Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using nanometer-sized particles has drawn great attention in the oil industry because of their various advantages brought by size. However, their applications on a field scale are very limited, especially for deformable nanoparticles. The objective of this research is …

A Numerical Simulation Study of the N-SolvTM Process
Given the search for recovery processes that are more efficient with lower water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions than Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), solvent based recovery processes are a potential alternative. Vapor Extraction (VAPEX) and N-SolvTM are two potentially competing …

Analytical design method for cold production of heavy oil with bottom water using Bilateral Sink Wells
Few heavy oil reservoirs with strong bottom water drives have been developed successfully because of severe water coning. Water coning tends to cause low ultimate recovery, low well productivity, and high water production. Although thermal and gravity-assisted methods might improve recovery in oil …

Experimental investigation of the effect of nanoparticles and polymer on interfacial tension between oil and water during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
… industries, and the interest in it within the oil industry is increasing, due to its potential to deeply change enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and to improve the mechanism of recovery. With the decline in oil discoveries during the last decades, it is believed that EOR technologies will play a key …
