Micrographic Evaluation of Water-in-Oil Emulsion Stability up to Critical Electric Field

Abstract Electrostatic demulsification is widely applied in the petroleum industry for the separation of water-in-oil emulsions; however, the relationship between microscopic droplet dynamics and the macroscopic electrical response remains insufficiently understood, particularly...

Surfactantsfor Enhanced Oil Recovery: Progress andInnovations over the Past Decade

Abstract Surfactant-based strategies have emerged as key approaches for enhancing oil recovery (EOR), particularly in mature reservoirs where conventional production methods leave a substantial fraction of oil unrecovered. This review provides a comprehensive and critical assessm...
