“…These systems have assumed an interfacial initial structure between water and hydrocarbons molecules. 19 The box of simulation contained one particle of asphaltene, 100 molecules of linear saturated hydrocarbons, and 300 molecules of water in mixture with appropriate interfacial positioning. These settings were used in MD simulations.…”

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on the interface between linear saturated hydrocarbons and water in the presence of an asphaltene molecule by measuring the properties such as mean square displacement, radial distribution function, density profile using ave/spatial command, and interfacial tension (IFT) by OPLS and TIP3P FF (force fields). The box of simulation contained one particle of asphaltene, 100 linear saturated hydrocarbons molecules, and 300 water molecules in mixture with interfacial appropriate positioning. The main results show that a small amount of asphaltene in the interface does not significantly alter the data of IFT and that the aliphatic and aromatic groups have preferred orientation.

“…To select the optimal interfacial tension model, different models (Sutton, Yuansheng Li, Kalantari-Meybodi 46 ) are employed to calculate the interfacial tension between water and gas phases whose density differential is greater than 0.4 g/ cm 3 . The model results are compared with the laboratory data of different types of alkanes at various temperatures and pressures obtained by Hassan 47 and Jenning 48 ; results are shown in Figure 6.…”

In most gas fields, depletion development has been widely employed, which caused formation pressure to decline, and as a result, the gas well production also decreases because the pressure is insufficient to continuously remove liquids from the gas well. The liquids, accumulating at the bottomhole and imposing an additional back pressure on the formation, further reduce the effective energy to remove the liquids and restricting well productivity; in severe cases, this may even

“…(2019) investigated the contribution of interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration on EOR separately during the SI and pointed out that ultralow IFT and increasing the hydrophilicity of the sample were desirable for the EOR. Besides, the reservoir temperature and pressure have non‐negligible influences on the in‐situ fluid properties such as viscosity and IFT (Kalantari Meybodi et al., 2016; Strand et al., 2008; S. Yang, 2017; Zeppieri et al., 2001). An accurate description of the SI behavior was complicated due to the geometrical complexity of the porous structure and the in‐situ high‐pressure and high‐temperature conditions.…”

Unconventional oil reservoirs, which are previously classified as uneconomic resources by traditional developing methods, have become one of the important world energy supplying parts in recent years with the application of horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing and numerous enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods (K. Singh et al., 2019;Xie et al., 2021). These oil reservoirs usually bury deep underground with conditions characterized as high-pressure and high-temperature. In a typical unconventional oil reservoir exploitation, a hydraulic fracturing job is proceeded after the completion of horizontal drilling to increase transport channels for oil recovery (Z. Chen et al., 2020). Previously, a flowback operation of the fracturing fluid is usually designed to decrease the potential reservoir damage. However, recent developments in these oil fields showed that partly flowback or even no flowback with the subsequent shut-in operation increased the oil recovery (
