Biomimetic functional hydrogel particles with enhanced adhesion characteristics for applications in fracture conformance control

Jiawei Liu et al.

Summary: Fracture conformance control in reservoir can be improved by using biomimetic hydrogel particles that adhere to the fracture rock surface. The study shows that these hydrogel particles have significant adhesion and adsorption capacity to the silica surface in simulated reservoir salinity water. The visible micro-model confirms the profile control effect of hydrogel particles in enhancing waterflooding sweep efficiency.

Enhanced oil recovery with anionic and zwitterionic surfactants in carbonate rocks: A CT-aided investigation

Xiongyu Chen et al.

Summary: This study discovers a surfactant blend that is stable in high salinity/hardness and high temperature conditions, which can be used for enhanced oil recovery. The blend exhibits low adsorption on carbonate and shows a negative correlation between oil saturation and porosity. These findings provide important insights for modeling EOR in rocks with mixed wettability and porosity heterogeneity.

Effects of brine valency and concentration on oil displacement by spontaneous imbibition: An interplay between wettability alteration and reduction in the oil-brine interfacial tension

Anupong Sukee et al.

Summary: Brine fluids have attracted high interest in enhanced oil recovery. This research investigated the effects of brine valency and concentration on crude oil displacement using spontaneous imbibition. The results showed that the concentration of monovalent brines significantly influenced the oil displacement, and the valency of the brines also played a crucial role.

The mechanism for lowering interfacial tension by extended surfactant containing ethylene oxide and propylene oxide groups

Zhong-Sheng Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, the interfacial tensions (IFTs) between a series of alkyl ether carboxylates with different ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) groups and n-alkanes were investigated. The results show that the PO group of the adsorbed surfactant molecules extends towards the oil phase in a helical winding manner, while the EO group arranges in an L pattern at the interface. Surfactant molecules with a large ionic head and PO group exhibit high IFT values, while those with sufficient PO and fewer EO groups have lower IFT values. The addition of NaCl can decrease the size of the ionic head and the C12PO15EO5C solution at optimized salinity can achieve ultralow IFT with hydrocarbons. However, electrolytes have little effect on the IFTs of surfactants with a dumbbell conformation at the interface, as the size of the linear EO group plays a crucial role.

Hong Chen et al.

Summary: A series of new surfactants were successfully synthesized using a microwave-assisted method. The chemical structure of the surfactants was confirmed, and their properties, such as critical micelle concentration, surface tension, emulsifying power, and foaming capacity, were studied. The cutting fluid prepared using a self-made Gemini surfactant showed good performance and could find wide applications in oil emulsification and other fields.

Effect of Ethylene Oxide Group in the Anionic-Nonionic Mixed Surfactant System on Microemulsion Phase Behavior

Virin Kittithammavong et al.

Summary: The study found that the ratio of mixed anionic-nonionic surfactants plays a crucial role in the phase transition, interfacial tension, and optimal salinity of microemulsion systems. The minimum IFT of mixed SDHS - C(12-14)Ej systems was approximately three times lower than that of neat SDHS systems. Through the HLD model, it was discovered that the SDHS - C12-14E1 mixed system was more lipophilic, while the SDHS - C12-14E9 system was more hydrophilic.

Xiao Deng et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that a combination of interfacial tension reduction and wettability alteration is the main mechanism for increased oil recovery. Residual oil is divided into five categories based on location and form, and the effect of IFT reduction and WA varies on different residual oil categories.
