In recent studies, there has been an increasing focus on Nanoparticles Enhanced Oil Recovery (NPEOR). NPEOR is a method that was initially developed to improve microscopic and macroscopic displacement efficiency. some applications NP have assisted the conventional EOR methods such as polymer, surfactant, Co2 flooding, with purpose of oil recovery. this literature, abilities use in are investiga...

The relative immobility of foam in porous media suppresses the formation of fingers during oil displacement leading to a more stable displacement which is desired in various processes such as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or soil remediation practices. Various parameters may influence the efficiency of foam-assisted oil displacement such as properties of oil, the permeability and heterogeneity of...

Rhamnolipid as a potent natural biosurfactant has a wide range of potential applications, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR), biodegradation, and bioremediation. Rhamnolipid is composed of rhamnose sugar molecule and beta-hydroxyalkanoic acid. The rhamnosyltransferase 1 complex (RhlAB) is the key enzyme responsible for transferring the rhamnose moiety to the beta-hydroxyalkanoic acid moiety ...

Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds derived from varied microbial sources including bacteria and fungi. They are secreted extracellularly and have a wide range of exciting properties for bioremediation purposes. They also have vast applications in the food and medicine industry. With an objective of isolating microorganisms for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, the study involved ...

We present a framework for the application of multiscale science and technology to Enhanced Oil Recovery [EOR] by propagating physical models for wetting and flow from the molecular scale to the scale of pore networks in reservoir rock. The framework contains dedicated, computational and experimental platforms for performing calibrations at critical length scales. The appoach enables us to scie...

Primary oil recovery methods in Saskatchewan’s heavy oil basin extract 5 to 10% of the available resource with the vast majority left in the ground and recoverable only through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods. Traditional EOR generates steam in surface facilities and injects it underground to mobilize the oil for production with considerable energy losses inherent in the process. R.I.I. Nor...

Abstract Trinidad and Tobago (TT) have been producing crude oil commercially since 1908. For the past few decades, TT’s production has in steady decline because most of reservoirs are beyond primary phase their production. This situation coupled with lower energy prices resulted a shortfall revenues presents TT major economic challenges. The objective this study was to optimize field simulation...

Currently the waste generated from public consumption in Indonesia is very high. One such used palm oil households and food companies. Utilization of this research by recycling into surfactants which will be Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process. The surfactant concentrations were 1.3%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.2% 2.5%. began with refining cooking banana peels for 24 hours. In order to make surfactants, mixed...

Transport of emulsions in porous media is relevant to several subsurface applications. Many enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes lead to emulsion formation and as a result conformance originating in the flow of a dispersed phase may arise. In some EOR processes, emulsion is injected directly as a mobility control agent. Modeling the flow of emulsion in porous media is extremely challenging due...
