... In this paper, the LBM is proposed for the simulation of LSWF. The model employs the Shan-Chen multiphase lattice Boltzmann model to simulate oil-water flow, and the passive solute method to simulate the advection-diffusion process of solute in low salinity water. Furthermore, the interfacial...

... pressure and polymer concentration provided useful insights about improved sweep and polymer retention associated with the polymer flood. As result, the reservoir of interest and brine conditions (salinity, temperature, permeability, RRF, dead pore space, among others) caused favorable additional...

... Abstract Low salinity water flooding is an emerging technology in the field of enhanced oil recovery in recent years. Laboratory investigations and field trials have been done for different reservoirs worldwide to evaluate the performance of this new technique. The majority of the published...

... concentrations of nanoparticles, surfactant, and salinities were tested. Contact angle measurements on calcite substrates and spontaneous imbibition test on limestone cores were performed to both the natural and modified (oil-wet) samples to consider the effect of heterogeneity and rock complexity on surface...
