Sodium silicate is an inexpensive environmentally friendly chemical with initial water-like viscosity, favorable for well and reservoir water managements. The interest in the application of sodium silicate for water control is increasing among...

. Treatments included irrigation salinity [0.3 (non-stress), 5, 8 and 12 dS.m–1] and foliar application of potassium sulphate (1000 ppm), sodium silicate nanoparticles (400 ppm) and silica (1000 ppm). Results indicated

that salinity decreased...

This work addresses the influence of buffered sodium silicate, (SiO2)3.35Na2O, on water-oil displacement efficiency in quartz media using static and flooding experiments. IFT measurements reveal that sodium silicate-oil interfacial tension is a...

Alkaline sodium silicate (Na-silicate) is environment-friendly and possesses water-like viscosity during the injection stage for in-depth reservoir treatment to enhance sweep efficiency. Gel setting time (tg) and gel strength are interrelated...

This paper addresses alkaline sodium silicate (Na-silicate) behavior in porous media. One of the advantages of the Na-silicate system is its water-like injectivity during the placement stage. Mixing Na-silicate with saline water results in metal...
