Static and dynamic adsorption of a gemini surfactant on a carbonate rock in the presence of low salinity water

Abstract In chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) techniques, surfactants are extensively used for enhancing oil recovery by reducing interfacial tension and/or modifying wettability. However, the effectiveness and economic feasibility of the cEOR process are compromised due to the adsorption of sur...
