Volume 11, Issue 1 , January 2022, , Pages 15-27

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2022.322972.1619

Abstract
  Among the different operating parameters that must be carefully controlled during the drilling operation, penetration of drilling mud into the permeable zone of formations is one of the essential ones that can have a destructive effect on the productive zone. Thus, the current investigation concentrates ...  Read More

Fatemeh Amin; Ali Reza Solaimany Nazar

Volume 5, Issue 3 , July 2016, , Pages 62-72

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2015.38531

Abstract
  The Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) approach is adopted here to evaluate the impact ofeffective factors such as nanoparticles type, nanoparticles to model solution mass ratio, asphaltenestructure, and temperature on asphaltene adsorption equilibrium. Herein, the toluene-asphaltenesolution model is ...  Read More

Wettability Alteration of Sandstone and Carbonate Rocks by Using ZnO Nanoparticles in Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Masoumeh Tajmiri; Seyed Mousa Mousavi; Mohammad Reza Ehsani; Emad Roayaei; Ali Emadi

Volume 4, Issue 4 , October 2015, , Pages 50-66

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2016.12479

Abstract
  Efforts to enhance oil recovery through wettability alteration by nanoparticles have been attracted in recent years. However, many basic questions have been ambiguous up until now. Nanoparticles penetrate into pore volume of porous media, stick on the core surface, and by creating homogeneous water-wet ...  Read More
