Mass and Momentum Transfer Considerations for Oil Displacement in Source Rocks Using Microemulsion Solutions

Existing strategies for hydrocarbon extraction have been designed primarily based on macroscopic properties of fluids and rocks. However, recent work on tight formations and source rocks (such as shale) revealed that the fluid properties and phase change of the hydrocarbons stored in the lower end o...
