Wettability alteration of carbonate reservoirs from oil-wet to water-wet is an important method to increase the efficiency of oil recovery.Interaction between surfactants and polymers can enhance the effectiveness of surfactants in EOR applications.In this study,the interaction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with an ionic surfactant,sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS),is evaluated on an oil-wet carbonate rock surface by using contact angle measurements.The results reveal that wettability alteration of carbonate rocks is achieved through PEG/SDS interaction on the rock surface above a critical aggregation concentration (CAC).The behaviour of PEG/SDS aqueous solutions is evaluated using surface and interfacial tension measurements.Furthermore,the effect of PEG and SDS concentrations and impact of electrolyte addition on PEG/SDS interaction are investigated.It is shown that electrolyte (NaCl) can effectively decrease the CAC values and accordingly initiate the wettability alteration of rocks.Moreover,in a constant SDS concentration,the addition of NaCl leads to a reduction in the contact angle,which can also be obtained by increasing the aging time,temperature and pre-adsorption of PEG on the rock surface.

Describing matrix-fracture interaction is one of the most important factors for modeling natural fractured reservoirs.A common approach for simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs is dual-porosity modeling where the degree of communication between th
Deposition of fluvial sandbodies is controlled mainly by characteristics of the system,such as the rate of avulsion and aggradation of the fluvial channels and their geometry.The impact and the interaction of these parameters have not received adequate at
Dimethyl ether (DME) is a widely used industrial compound,and Shell developed a chemical EOR technique called DME-enhanced waterflood (DEW).DME is applied as a miscible solvent for EOR application to enhance the performance of conventional waterflood.When
Taking the Jurassic Sangonghe Formation in the Mosuowan-Mobei area of the Junggar Basin as an example,this paper provides a method that evaluates paleo hydrocarbon pools and predicts secondary reservoirs.Through Quantitative Grain Fluorescence (QGF) exper
The recovery factor from tight gas reservoirs is typically less than 15％,even with multistage hydraulic fracturing stimulation.Such low recovery is exacerbated in tight gas condensate reservoirs,where the depletion of gas leaves the valuable condensate be
Wellbore drilling operations frequently entail the combination of a wide range of variables.This is underpinned by the numerous factors that must be considered in order to ensure safety and productivity.The heterogeneity and sometimes unpredictable behavi
Fluidized beds are widely used in many industrial fields such as petroleum,chemical and energy.In actual industrial processes,spherical inert particles are typically added to the fluidized bed to promote fluidization of non-spherical particles.Understandi
Lower Cretaceous Shurijeh-Shatlyk Formations host some of the main reservoirs in the Kopeh Dagh-Amu Darya Basin.Exploration in this area so far has focused on the development of structural traps,but recognition of stratigraphic traps in this area is of in
Graphene oxide (GO) nano-sheets were synthesized using a modified Hummers\' method from graphite powder.The Raman spectrum of GO displayed a D-band at 1359 cm-1 and a G-band at 1594 cm-1.The ID/IG value of GO was calculated to be 0.97,suggesting the for
The influence of surface-modified silica (SiO2) nanoparticles on the stability and pore plugging properties of foams in porous media was investigated in this study.The pore plugging ability of foams was estimated from the pressure drop induced during foam
