Waterflooding & IOR & Formation Damage

Suspension and emulsion flow in porous media. Applications in aquifer contamination by bacteria, virus and oil droplets propagation, in productivity of artesian wells, in brain stroke prediction, in design of cancer blocking methods, in industrial filtering of fluids, in potable water treatment, in nano-technologies Improved Waterflooding by using nano particles Improved Waterflooding by water salinity alternation and induced fines migration Improved Waterflooding by injection of poorly treated water Polymer flooding Gas-based EOR (WAG, CO2-flooding) Effects of fines migration on well productivity/injectivity Injectivity damage during seawater injection and PWRI Formation damage due to oilfield scaling Design of new technologies for Unconventional Resources and their math modelling Characterisation of pore space geometry from coreflooding

Modelling-based design of filtration systems: sand production control, artesian wells

A new method and devise to characterise formation damage and its application in offshore waterflood project
