Microfluidic Study of Foams Flow for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) [PDF]

Oil & Gas Science and Technology – Revue d’IFP Energies nouvelles, 2014
In this paper, we report an experimental study of foam flow in different channel geometries using microfluidic devices in the framework of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Two different processes of foam formation are studied. The first corresponds to co-injection of gas and water through a cross junction which gives rise to a monodisperse foam. The second

A Novel Modified Petroresin Particle (MPRP) With Enhanced Oil–Water Selectivity for Cold Production in Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 75, 17 September 2026.
A novel oil–water selective conformance control agent, MPRP, is prepared via hydrophilic grafting and mechanical granulation. MPRP uniformly disperses in water, cohesively expands upon aging, and readily dissolves in the oil phase. During conformance control, it selectively aggregates in water channeling pathways to form effective plugs without ...

Infrastructure‐Constrained Pathways for Large‐Scale CO2 Mitigation via CCUS in China's Coal‐Fired Power Sector

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4152-4170, September 2026.
This study develops a multi‐objective optimization framework to evaluate large‐scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) deployment in China's coal‐fired power sector. By jointly considering cost, net CO2 mitigation, and system robustness under infrastructure constraints, the analysis reveals Pareto‐optimal deployment patterns and ...

APPLICATIONS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (EOR)

ETM Equipment Technologies Materials
In modern oil fields, long-term production often causes reservoir pressure depletion and declining oil recovery, highlighting the limits of conventional extraction methods. This has driven growing interest in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies designed to improve oil production.

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

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 759-771, September 2026.
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 ...
