Critical Review on the Molecular Behavior of Surfactants at the Oil–Water Interface During Oil Displacement

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1626-1662, March 2026.
This review systematically explores the molecular behavior of diverse surfactants (anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric) at the oil–water interface through molecular dynamics simulations. It highlights their roles in reducing interfacial tension, altering interfacial structure, and enhancing oil recovery efficiency.

Bitumen Emulsion—Mineral Surface Interactions: An NMR Study on the Interface Layer Composition

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 170-178, February 2026.
We describe a 1H NMR approach to study the interface layer formed by a specified bitumen emulsion in the presence of non‐magnetic as well as magnetic minerals. This approach is based on the consecutive flushing off “bulky” components of the bitumen emulsion and the following extraction of the surface layer material, which can then be analyzed by NMR ...

Review of asphaltene properties and precipitation modeling [PDF]

, 2019
Asphaltenes are of special interest to the petroleum industry due to their complex, non-linear phase behavior and tendency to deposit in reservoir and production equipment that drives up production and remedial costs associated with oil recovery ...

Reconstructing Environmental and Microbial Ecosystem Changes Across the Permian–Triassic Mass Extinction at Lusitaniadalen, Svalbard

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.

Evaluation of the Influence of Antifoam Formulations on Asphaltene Aggregates Using AFM and SEM‐EDS

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 3, January 15, 2026.
ABSTRACT Asphaltenes, naturally occurring surfactants in crude oil play a pivotal role in stabilizing oily foams during primary oil processing. Accordingly, understanding how antifoam formulations influence asphaltene aggregation is essential. This study investigates the effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with varying molar masses on asphaltene ...

Liquid–liquid equilibrium studies of n‐butane–bitumen system with application to solvent‐aided in situ bitumen recovery

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 425-441, January 2026.
Abstract Solvent‐assisted recovery methods have gained attention as an alternative to conventional thermal methods which have significant environmental drawbacks and high greenhouse gas emissions. Solvent‐assisted recovery methods can lead to various phase equilibria, such as vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) and liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE), under ...
