A Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs

open access: yesJournal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
The Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs. ABSTRACT Surfactants with both positive and negative functional groups (amphoteric or zwitterionic) are particularly advantageous in acidic oil reservoirs because they remain stable under harsh chemical conditions, tolerate acidic ...

Prediction of asphaltene precipitation upon injection of various gases at near-wellbore conditions: A simulation study using PC-SAFT EoS

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2019
The depletion of oil reservoirs and increased global oil demand have given impetus to employ various secondary and tertiary oil recovery methods. Gas injection is widely used in both secondary and tertiary modes, though the major problem associated with ...

Characterisation of Deposited Foulants and Asphaltenes using Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2009
The magnitude and significance of crude oil fouling have led to a number of studies; however, the fundamentals of the complex fouling process are not fully understood. This thesis describes the use of the high chemical specificity, imaging capabilities

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Pyrolysis of asphaltenes and biomarkers for the fingerprinting of the _Amoco Cadiz_ oil spill after 23 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The chemical composition of the petroleum products accidently or deliberately released in the environment varies considerably with time under the action of biological (biodegradation) and physico-chemical (photo-oxidation) processes.

Study of Viscosity-temperature Properties of Oil and Gas-condensate Mixtures in Critical Temperature Ranges of Phase Transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Transport of oil and gas-condensate mixtures of various compositions is found to be accompanied by a slight increase in viscosity in the coldest period when ground temperatures at depth of a condensate pipeline reach 0 – minus 4°С. Fall in temperature of

Triblock Polymer Engineering Enables Hydration‐Rich, High‐Performance, Fouling‐Resistant Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
A molecularly engineered triblock polymer (PHZ) rapidly reorganizes into a hydration‐rich interfacial layer on diverse surfaces, strongly suppressing hydrophobic attraction and fouling. The triblock polymer provides robust energy and steric barriers to oily foulants, enabling high‐performance antifouling at ultralow dosage.

Dynamic accelerated solvent extraction for faster oil sands oil, water, and solids determination and solids cleaning

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 2020-2032, April 2026.
25 g of oil sands extracted by dynamic accelerated solvent extraction, yielding 177 mL of bitumen–toluene extract and clean dried solids in approximately 12 min. Abstract Determining the oil, water, and solids (OWS) contents of oil sand is essential to many aspects of the oil sands industry including mine planning, optimization of extraction processes,

Supercritical water deasphalting and desulphurization of heavy fuel oil with comprehensive molecular‐level analysis and techno‐economic analysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1727-1742, April 2026.
Supercritical water deasphalting. Abstract The removal of sulphur from heavy fuel oil (HFO) is essential to address environmental concerns and comply with the stringent regulations imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2020. Previously, the acceptable limit for sulphur was 3.5 wt.%, but it was recently changed to 0.5 wt.%.
