A novel fabrication of microfluidic device for generation of multiple emulsions.

Due to extensive applications of microfluidic devices, manufacturing of these apparatus has recently been noticed. Production of multiple emulsions is one of the main goals of manufacturing microfluidic devices. Design and fabrication of microfluidics are functions of the size of emulsion droplets, properties of fluids applied for emulsification, and considered stability for emulsions.

A review on application of nanoparticles for EOR purposes: history and current challenges.

Applications of nanotechnology in several fields of petroleum industry, e.g., refinery, drilling and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), have attracted a lot of attention, recently.

Experimental characterization of colloidal silica gel for water conformance control in oil reservoirs.

High water production in oil fields is an area of concern due to economic issues and borehole/wellhead damages. Colloidal gels can be a good alternative to polymers to address this as they can tolerate harsh oil reservoir conditions. A series of bottle tests with different silica and NaCl concentrations were first conducted.
