DOI: 10.2118/231178-pa
Abstract: Waterflooding is an effective method to enhance oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs. However, due to the complex depositional environments, highly developed fractures, and intricate pore-throat structures of carbonate reservoirs, waterflooding often exhibits inefficient performance. Volatile… read more here.
