A New Insight on the Impact of Individual Ions on Fluid/Fluid Interactions and SmarWater Recovery

Abstract: SmartWater flooding (SWF) has been proven as an effective and successful recovery method for carbonates, in which the injected water alters the carbonate rock wettability to produce incremental oil. Core-scale displacement experiments have demonstrated significant incremental recoveries of SmartWater in both secondary and tertiary modes. Single-well chemical tracer tests have demonstrated this potential in the field at a scale larger than those examined in the laboratory. Still, the underlying mechanisms respo… Show more

“…This study is the extension of previous studies, which focused on the design of sulfate-modified/low-salt water-flooding for core plugs and micromodels [ 2 , 21 ]. This study also discusses the impact of sulfate on polymer viscoelastic behavior in porous media.…”

“…Chemically mechanized water flooding has been studied as an enhanced oil recovery technique through sandstone core plugs and field tests [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Modified-water flooding is gaining much attention as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique, due to its apparent lower cost and environmentally friendly characteristics, compared to other EOR methods.…”
