Abstract:Significant amounts
of hydrocarbon resources are left
behind after
primary and secondary recovery processes, necessitating the application
of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques for improving the recovery
of trapped oil from subsurface formations. In this respect, the wettability
of the rock is crucial in assessing the recovery and sweep efficiency
of trapped oil. The subsurface reservoirs are inherently contaminated
with organic acids, which renders them hydrophobic. Recent research
has revealed the signif… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
