Molecular dynamics simulations of clay-oil-brine interfaces : understanding low-salinity enhanced oil recovery
In an age of increasing energy demand it is clear that we must utilise our energy resources as efficiently as possible. Current oil extraction methods only recover in the region of a third of the oil in a reservoir. Presently oil is recovered through primary methods (pressure differentials) and seco...
