Polymer gels are increasingly being integrated into enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies to address the challenges posed by heterogeneity in mature reservoirs. Designed as cross‐linked polymer ...

This course gives an overview of oil recovery processes that involve the use of polymer, surfactant, alkali, gel, and combination of them. Furthermore, it reviews reservoir engineering fundamentals ...

Researchers run numerical simulations and field tests using cyclic steam stimulation, steam drive, and steam-assisted gravity drainage at different types of heavy oil reservoirs in China's Bohai field ...

A black powder of spherical carbon nanoparticles with specific properties can be synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Surface modifications can be achieved by chemically bonding organic ...

Oil production is separated into three phases: primary, secondary and tertiary, which is also known as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Primary oil recovery is limited to hydrocarbons that naturally rise ...
