As the important role of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in meeting the world’s energy requirement is growing, use of nanoparticles in lieu of, or in combination with, the existing EOR agents to expand EOR’s applicable range is receiving significant

Summary Polymer flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method which improves the mobility ratio and sweep efficiency of a waterflood. In theory, the high viscosity of the polymer reduces its injectivity compared to water. However, field studies h

Summary An efficient tertiary chemical flood involves the chemicals displacing the oil in a stable manner, so the initially disconnected trapped oil ganglia coalesce into a bank as the flood progresses. However, the location of surfactants and polyme

We propose a simple microfluidic approach: Dissolution-After-Precipitation (DAP), to investigate regimes of carbonate rock dissolution and multiphase reactive transport. In this method, a carbonate porous medium is created in a glass microchannelivia

This study presents a workflow to optimize the location of CO2 injectors in order to maximize stored volume and prevent fault reactivation due to increases of pore pressure. We combine coupled reservoir flow and geomechanics simulations with neural n

Geometric straining of particles in porous media is of critical importance in a broad range of natural and industrial settings, such as contaminant transport in aquifers and the permeability decline due to pore plugging in oil reservoirs. Pore networ
