surfactant

This study explores the potential of locally produced surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in high-temperature and high-salinity reservoir environments.

This paper presents a clear and consistent method for determining dead and live crude EACNs using a single reliable method, highlighting a graphical way to determine the optimal salinity and its uncertainties using real data.

The authors of this paper study the effect of solids particles on oil/water separators and on produced-water treatment.

This paper presents the completion strategy implemented in an intelligent well completed in Malaysian deepwater Block K.

Chevron has some new ideas on how to get more oil for less cost out of shale wells in their early years.

This study presents a novel approach to screen thermally stable surfactants at high pressures and high temperatures for the explicit purpose of wettability alteration in the operator’s Eagle Ford acreage.

This work explores the synergistic effects of smartwater in polymerflooding, surfactant/polymerflooding, carbonated waterflooding, and foam-assisted gas-injection.

In this study, surfactants that can alter wettability or develop ultralow interfacial tension were identified through laboratory measurements for a target carbonate reservoir.

This paper presents software used to understand how foams can alleviate slugging in pipelines.

The authors develop and apply a laboratory protocol mimicking leakoff, shut-in, and flowback processes to evaluate the effects of fracturing-fluid additives on oil regained permeability.
