The objective of this work is to study the effect of emulsion formation on steel corrosion in a sweet environment in a laboratory scale. Field experience shows that improper sizing of pipelines in the petroleum industry is often caused by a lack of…
Development of NanoSurfactants (NSs), encapsulated petroleum sulfonates, is in progress for use as one of the most cost efficient surfactants in chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) applications under extreme conditions. This work provides a better…
A basic understanding of the activities of indigenous surfactants of crude oil at the water/oil interface as a function of aqueous phase pH can give us a better insight into the alkaline enhanced oil recovery processes. The present study aimed to…
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion process by examining the deterioration of X80 steel exposed to a real petroleum sample containing condensed hydrocarbon plus oilfield-produced water, which were subjected to stimulated…

Injection of water with a designed chemistry has been proposed as a novel enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) method, commonly referred to as low-salinity (LS) or smart waterflooding, among other labels. The multiple names encompass a family of EOR methods…
