Abstract:
Oil and gas reservoirs in various parts of the world have declined over time, despite a high percentage of oil. Due to the increasing need for hydrocarbon resources, the need for more cost-efficient harvesting methods and less environmental damage is felt. Injection of saline water is one of the most cost-effective ways of harvesting due to the need for no expensive additives. On the other hand, microscopic glass modeling can be used to better understand and understand the performance of saline water at the microscopic scale. In this study we have been able to visualize the effective factors in infusion of saline water. Improved interfacial tensile and particle migration in kaolin-coated micro-models and changing wettability conditions toward greater hydrophilicity
