Abstract: The aggregation behavior and the subsequent deposition behavior of wax crystals own undesirable effects on the production and transportation of waxy crude oil. The understanding and prediction of these behaviors are essential ...

Abstract: Temporary plugging fracturing is an effective way to enhance the fracture complexity and increase the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) of unconventional reservoirs. The performance of temporary plugging agents (TPA) ...

Abstract: Although the problems of wax deposition in multiphase transportation pipelines have been addressed and wax deposition models have been developed in recent years, the complex wax deposition paths derived from the potential ...

Abstract: Alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding process is proven to be vitally effective for enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in the oil industry. However, foaming behavior is generated by the breakthrough of chemical agents in the ...

Abstract: Well production rates decline quickly in the tight reservoirs, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is needed to increase productivity. Conventional flooding from adjacent wells is inefficient in the tight formations, and ...
