Tuning the chemistry of seawater with activated clay: an application in SmartWater enrichment for enhanced oil recovery
Abstract Studies on the interaction between crude oil, brine, and rock systems showed that the composition of water injected into the oil reservoir influences the amount of oil recovered from such a reservoir. Therefore, researchers are now emphasizing the use of SmartWater for enhanced oil recovery...
