oilfield operators, especially in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. However due to complexity of its gelation kinetics under reservoir conditions, still there are concerns about sodium silicate field applications. Controlling gelation time is the major...

in the event of a field application. This is important since LSW for enhancing oil recovery is a popular method in oil industry. A suggested predictive tool (simple graphical method) to estimate the effect of different factors on gelation time and gel strength...

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 ...

Fabrication of NiO/SiO2 nanocomposites using sol–gel method and optimization of gelation time using Taguchi robust design method...
