Mechanistic Investigation of the Synergy of a Wide Range of Salinities and Ionic Liquids for Enhanced Oil Recovery: Fluid-Fluid Interactions

Ali Esfandiarian et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the performance of three imidazolium-based ionic liquids in reducing the interfacial tension between crude oil and IL solutions under a wide range of salinities. It was found that longer alkyl chain ILs accumulated more at the solution interface under high ionic strength conditions, leading to a greater reduction in IFT. Additionally, under low salinity conditions, longer alkyl chain IL exhibited a lower IFT value in diluted seawater compared to diluted formation water.

New methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of wettability from relative permeability curves: Revisiting Craig's rules of thumb and introducing Lak wettability index

Abouzar Mirzaei-Paiaman

Summary: Craig's rules are widely used for qualitative determination of wettability. The first rule describes characteristics of water-wet rocks and oil-wet systems, the second rule judges water-wet and oil-wet systems based on the crossover point of relative permeability curves, and the third rule explains the relationship between interstitial water saturation and wettability. A modified version of Craig's second rule is introduced in the study, along with the new Lak wettability index.

B. Ibarra-Tandi et al.

Summary: This study conducted molecular simulations on a two-dimensional simple fluid using non conformal molecular interactions, exploring the effects of softness parameters on fluid properties and the model's versatility in different systems, while also evaluating the impact of system dimensionality. The results demonstrated the predictive capacity and robustness of the interaction model, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between repulsive and attractive contributions in molecular interaction models for a better understanding of thermodynamic properties of simple and complex fluids.

Experimental Investigation of Polymer-Coated Silica Nanoparticles for EOR under Harsh Reservoir Conditions of High Temperature and Salinity

Alberto Bila et al.

Summary: Laboratory experiments have shown that nanoparticle (NPs) flooding can lead to higher oil recovery rates, mainly through changes in wettability and reduction of interfacial tension. However, gaps still exist in understanding the interactions induced by NPs. This study investigated the performance of four types of polymer-coated silica NPs in harsh reservoir conditions and found that NP aggregation led to decreased core permeability, affecting oil sweep efficiency.
