“…Further insights from Geng et al focused on well-network densification effects in the Daqing Oilfield, China, revealing that sand body scale and well spacing significantly impact sweep effect of water flooding. Additionally, Zhang et al, Janaghi et al, and Lyu et al proposed that factors such as oil–water viscosity and rock–fluid interface tension play a role in influencing oil displacement efficiency. These studies primarily analyzed the impact of various factors on productivity or sweep effect in TTISR, without delving into its effect on recovery efficiency.…”

Chinese oil companies have formulated an empirical recovery efficiency model derived from an analysis of over 140 waterflooded oilfields. Initially successful in thick sandstone reservoirs (TSR), the industry has shifted focus to thick−thin interbedded sandstone reservoirs (TTISR). The empirical formula, however, falls short of the desired accuracy (below 60%) in TTISR due to the unique challenges posed, including diverse sand body scales, strong heterogeneity, and easily developed faults. To address these challenges, a comprehensive prediction model (CPM) has been introduced. This model integrates key parameters and refines the predictive capabilities. Noteworthy relationships include the arctangent function correlation between water flooding control (E s ) and well density, as well as the linear relationship between the fault interference coefficient (E f ) and fault block. Reservoir heterogeneity, assessed using Lorenz coefficient L, is intricately incorporated into the CPM. The resulting relationship with the heterogeneity interference coefficient (E L ) follows a quadratic function. The presence of these typical features results in a lower recovery efficiency for TTISR compared to TSR. The CPM unfolds in a three-stage pattern, featuring a concaveascending trend, followed by a period of linear increase, and concluding with a convex-ascending trend as well density grows. This implies that the incremental oil yield diminishes in later stages compared to earlier stages. The effectiveness of the CPM is substantiated by verifying recovery data from the A area of the PL oilfield, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 91%. Furthermore, the CPM facilitates the swift prediction of well numbers in the B area, showcasing its practical utility. This method not only serves as a robust tool for predicting recovery efficiency but also offers valuable insights for optimizing well numbers in similar oilfield development schemes.

“…These surfactants are typically biodegradable, non-toxic, and pose less threat to the environment (Hayes, 2019;Kosaric & Vardar-Sukan, 2014). To date, eco-friendly surfactants have successfully replaced conventional surfactants in applications like corrosion inhibition (Mobin et al, 2017), oil spill remediation (Durval et al, 2019;Kim et al, 1999), nanopaste synthesis (Zhang et al, 2018), and enhanced oil recovery (Janaghi et al, 2022;Seo et al, 2018).…”

Eco‐friendly surfactant alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) have garnered ample interest in the literature. However, the adsorption kinetics of APGs at an air‐water interface has not been studied to date. Consequently, this study aimed at investigating the adsorption kinetics of the APG n‐decyl‐β‐D‐maltopyranoside (β‐C10G2) at a freshly created air‐water interface. The dynamic and equilibrium surface tension (ST) of the aqueous β‐C10G2 solutions were experimentally measured at varying concentrations using a pendant bubble tensiometer and the ST data were examined via theoretical simulations using the Langmuir and Frumkin models. The fitting results revealed that the Frumkin model (with K = −2.9) well‐predicted the equilibrium ST data; signifying a considerable cohesive intermolecular force amidst the adsorbed β‐C10G2 molecules. The theoretical mixed‐controlled ST profiles (predicted by the Frumkin model) described the dynamic ST data reasonably well, but the adsorption rate constant increased significantly at increasing concentration. A comparison on the ST data of β‐C10G2 and β‐C12G2 (n‐dodecyl‐β‐D‐maltopyranoside) was also conducted and a relatively greater surface‐activity and lower cmc of the latter alkyl glycoside was observed.
