Implication

Computational study examines how low-concentration nanoemulsions enhance oil recovery in various permeabilities, suggesting promising implications.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of low-concentration nanoemulsions in enhancing oil recovery efficiency.
  • Conducted systematic numerical studies on low-concentration diesel fuel-based nanoemulsions.
  • Examined oil displacement regimes using digital core models with different permeability levels.
  • Varying emulsifier volume fraction from 0.05% to 0.4% while maintaining 1 vol.% diesel fuel.
  • Nanoemulsions showed high efficiency in displacing oil across all permeability levels.
  • Emulsions create a more uniform displacement front, achieving better saturation in pore channels compared to water.
  • The oil displacement coefficient improves with higher capillary number, peaking at lower capillary numbers.
