The high efficiency of Low Salinity Water (LSW) injection in carbonates, leading to rock wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet and, hence, resulting in better oil displacement, has been confirmed by numerous ...

Resource estimation is an essential aspect of the development process for any mining project. The geological domains are defined based on data obtained from boreholes, with the goal being to determine the mineral grades ...

The petroleum industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, but the construction and operation of underground pipelines in petroleum fields are associated with significant economic and environmental challenges. This ...

Maximizing crude oil recovery is a main objective of the oil and gas industry. Oil recovery by natural production in carbonates is usually lower than 30%. Thus, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are used to increase the ...

Rockburst is a phenomenon commonly described as a sudden and violent event in underground mines that result in significant damages to underground excavations, equipment. It also threatens the safety of the mine workers and ...

Fast depletion in oil reserves has steered the petroleum industry towards developing novel enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to get the most out of reservoirs. The standalone EOR methods such as engineered water ...

Currently, there have been a surge in evaluating effectiveness of various hybrid enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods as it combines benefits of standalone processes. This study focuses on laboratory investigation to evaluate ...

The modern mining industry employs plenty of exploration data digitization and utilizes computational resources for future forecasting and production scheduling. In that regard, geostatistics and mine planning as disciplines ...

Nowadays, different studies were conducted to design new methods to improve oil recovery efficiency. The study focuses on experimental work to evaluate synergy between low salinity water and polymer flooding in carbonate ...
