DOI: 10.1007/s10596-019-09843-6
Abstract: Wettability alteration is one of the most promising techniques to enhance oil recovery of mixed- or oil-wet reservoirs. As contact angle decreases within the matrix, the flux of fracture-matrix counter-current imbibition increases significantly. Wettability-altering agents… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.egyr.2021.01.089
Abstract: Abstract In recent years, nano-microparticle dispersion systems have been frequently applied in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the low-permeability reservoirs. However, clarification of the profile control process of nano-microparticle has become the focus of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s1995080220040101
Abstract: Mathematical model of groundwater flow in fractured porous media implemented in the GeRa code is presented. It uses the discrete fracture matrix approach which allows for explicit fractures approximation and couples 2D and 3D flow… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app11199148
Abstract: We study infiltration of rainwater into fractured rock and the accompanying capillary exchange processes between fractures and matrix, hereafter referred to as fracture–matrix transfer (FMT). Its influence on the velocity of the wetting front for… read more here.
