Performance comparison of novel chemical agents in improving oil recovery from tight sands through spontaneous imbibition
Abstract Tight sands are abundant in nanopores leading to a high capillary pressure and normally a low fluid injectivity. As such, spontaneous imbibition might be an effective mechanism for improving oil recovery from tight sands after fracturing. The chemical agents added to the injected water can...
