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.

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 322-334, January 2026.Left panel: Natural Depletion → sharp pressure decline → condensate bank builds → reduced gas rate. The schematics show the condensate bank around the producer. Middle panel: Low Salinity Water → brine injection → improved pressure support → piston‐like condensate displacement → higher gas rate.

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Based on the theory of porous media elasticity and the mechanisms of hydraulic‐mechanical coupling, a fully coupled mathematical model for porous media deformation and fluid flow was established, incorporating a square inverted nine‐spot well pattern with artificial fractures. The finite element method was employed for numerical solution, and the model′

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 142, Issue 29, August 5, 2025.This study explores how polymer behavior affects oil recovery in porous rocks. It shows that shear‐thinning polymers become less effective at high flow rates, reducing oil displacement efficiency. The findings highlight the need to optimize polymer injection rates and formulations for better recovery.

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Particle transport in subsurface porous media under multiphase flow conditions is widely concerned in many practical applications. Previous studies have focused on retention behaviors and interfacial effects, ignoring the unique role of pronounced rheological effect under dilute conditions. Here, we investigate how accumulation effect reshapes

Experimental Study on Hysteresis During Cyclic Injection in Hierarchical Porous Media
Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Cycle injection schemes are often encountered in underground hydrogen storage (UHS), and the involved hysteresis directly impacts storage and extraction efficiency. The geological formation generally has hierarchical features containing multiple‐level pore sizes.
