As reserves of conventional light oil become depleted, recovery of viscous oil is urgently needed to meet increasing energy demands worldwide before clean energy sources are fully developed. Current oil extraction technologies suffer from low…
Single-step nanofluids have shown better stability and size control properties than conventional two-step nanofluids under similar conditions. However, for wide-spread oilfield acceptance, there is a need to investigate the role of oilfield…
The most promising method to improve chemical oil recovery via wettability alteration is associated with colloidal solution such as nanofluid. However, nanofluids show limitations due to nanoparticle agglomeration which may result into pore blockage…
Preparation of robust oil-repellant surfaces in aqueous environment with mechanical stability is imperative, yet challenging for the extensive range of real applications where high durability is required. We report the robust underwater…
High demand in the reduction of viscosity of heavy oil from reservoir sandstone has been a great interest with the applications of electromagnetic (EM) assisted for the enhanced oil recovery. Therefore, the conversion of EM waves properties into the…
