“…Over the past decades, organic-rich shale formations have been considered as the source rocks in petroleum reservoirs, that is to say, that, hydrocarbons originated and migrated into sandstone and limestone of various reservoir qualities, because unconventional reservoirs have low permeability than other reservoirs and have less economic volumes of oil and gas produced in oilfields. To produce commercial quantities from the unconventional reservoirs, a combination of increased oil and gas prices and improved technology of horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing are required (Rabbani et al 2018;Rowan et al 2015;Thacker et al 2015).…”

Regarding the dramatic increase of water additional resource administration in numerous drilling industries' operational performances and oil/gas extractions, water supply plays a significant role in their performances as efficient as optimum operations, in respect of the way, this utilization is often invisible to the public eye. The necessity of water in a wide variety of drilling operation due to its vast applicant in several functions is widely reported in the literature that has been required to remain these procedures plateau. The objective of this comprehensive study is to conduct an investigation into the studied field and analyze the assessment of necessary water and produced water which is provided in the surface for reinjection procedures in the hydraulic fracturing and water injectivity; in respect of the way, petroleum and drilling industries will push themselves into limits to find suitable water sources from a local source to encapsulate their economic prosperities and virtually eliminate extra expenditures. In comparison to other industries and consumers, oil and gas development is not a significant water consumer, and its water demands can exert profound impacts on local water resources, and this is why it imposes particular challenges among water users in a vast majority of fields and areas in times of drought. Moreover, water has become an increasingly scarce and costly commodity over the past decades, and operators are being beneficially noted that awareness of recycling and reusing phenomenon that has treated effluent is both costs competent and socially responsible. Consequently, energy, environmental situation, and economic prosperity considerations should be analytically and preferably investigated to cover every eventuality and each possibility of disposal and water reuse options.

“…Chemical methods are divided into mobility controlling materials (e.g., polymers and foams) and surfactant flooding. The former which is especially used to control the mobility by increasing the water density that enables the oil to mobilize more conveniently or the reduction of gas phase by the injection of foams, and the latter by injecting the surfactants or alkaline agents to reduce the surface adhesion which leads to the oil displacement and subsequently improve the microscopic displacement efficiency (Chen and Zhao, 2015;Fei-Peng et al, 2017;Fisher et al, 1990;Guo and Aryana, 2016;Rabbani et al, 2018;Mazarei et al). The widespread application of foam in petroleum industries due to its high potential for sweep efficiency in the improved oil recovery techniques is considered as the preferable methodologies; in respect the way, it reduced the mobility of gas phase and subsequently neglecting the gas directional flow in the reservoirs.…”

Foam flooding is considered as one of the beneficial chemical enhanced oil recovery techniques to increase the value of gas viscosity and thereby, the efficiency of the produced oil would be improved dramatically rather than other methodologies. The objective of this extensive study is to determine a suitable injectivity model for one of the heterogeneous sandstone reservoir in which hydrolyzed polyacrylamide concentration in the solution foam has the most recovery factor. To do this, the results of laboratory investigation and simulation analysis are taken into consideration in different injectivity scenarios to obtain the more efficient scenario. Consequently, higher concentration of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide in the foaming agent, the high volume of oil has been produced after 10 years of producing. Furthermore, by selecting three cores from the three wells in this field, it is clarified that, owing to the increasing the volume of foam in the injectivity fluid, the pressure drop increased dramatically and subsequently has leaded to produced more oil volume.

“…Because of thermodynamic equilibrium between the crude oil components, asphaltene is naturally suspended in crude oil; however, any disturbance such as pressure or composition changes results in accumulation and precipitation of asphaltene. Hydrocarbon production from oil reservoirs as well as fluids injection for secondary or tertiary oil recovery would affect the thermodynamic equilibrium which result in asphaltene precipitation and deposition in the reservoir and production facilities (Escobedo and Mansoori 2010;Kor et al 2017;Mansoori 2009;Rabbani et al 2018). Different remedial methods for removing asphaltene deposits have been proposed and implemented from which application of aromatic solvent including toluene and xylene is among the most widely used (Mansoori and Elmi 2010).…”

Asphaltene precipitation is known to be responsible for serious challenges in oil industry such as wellbore damage, oil flow reduction, and plugging of transportation lines. The traditional methods to remove asphaltene deposition are mostly based on chemical solvent. One of the recent proposed green and cost-effect remedial methods is the application of microorganisms capable of consuming the heavy hydrocarbon chains. The cell surface hydrophobicity among others effectively manipulates the efficiency of the microorganism for asphaltene degradation. Besides, surface active agents would affect the microorganism adhesion and cell surface properties, and alters its hydrophobicity. Investigating the effect of these parameters on biodegradability of asphaltene leads to a better understanding of the microorganism effects on asphaltenic oil. In the current investigation, different asphaltenic solutions with the concentration of 2, 4, and 10 g/l are prepared using different southern Iranian crude oil sources, namely Ahwaz-Bangestan and Kuh-e-Mond oil fields. To estimate asphaltene biodegradability, the solutions were used as a carbon source for three different microorganisms namely Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter cloacae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for a period of 10 days, while the temperature and rotational speed were kept constant under 40 °C and 150 rpm, respectively. The tests were also repeated using sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate as surface active agent to evaluate the effect of surfactant on microorganism adhesion and cell surface hydrophobicity. The results pointed to the direct effects of the initial concentration of asphaltene in the solution as well as the presence of surfactant which alters the cells hydrophobicity and leads to more asphaltene biodegradability up to 49%.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
