WSPLK: A systematic approach to the thermodynamic characterization of light and heavy Mexican crude oil

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A streamlined characterization framework (WSPLK) is presented for modelling complex reservoir fluids using cubic equations of state. The key methodological contribution is the introduction of a single global parameter ε directly into Pedersen's boiling‐point correlation, restoring pure‐component calibration and eliminating the need for ...

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

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
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.

Oil displacement mechanisms of viscoelastic polymers in enhanced oil recovery (EOR): a review [PDF]

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2013
Polymer flooding has proved economically and technically successful in numerous enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, which can often increase oil recovery from 12 to 15 % of the original oil in place. When a reservoir is flooded with viscous polymer solution, the mobility ratio between the displacing fluid (i.e., water) and the displaced fluid (i.e ...

An Improved Fast Method for the Evaluation of Surfactants in Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evaluating oil displacement efficiency is an essential step in selecting surfactants for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications, incorporating crude oil, rock, and formation water. Originally, the rock layer for such investigations was prepared on a glass sheet using organic solvents.
