Understanding the Role of Amphiphilic Chemical Additives in Enhanced Oil Recovery from Molecular Perspectives
DownloadFall 2022
Carefully designed chemical formulas are often applied in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Understanding the molecular distribution and working mechanism of each component can provide theoretical guidance in designing chemical formulas with desired functionalities. In this dissertation,...
