Farad Kamyabi, Senior Lecturer at BHOS and Director of the BHOS Center for Innovation and Research, together with Abdulmecit Araz, PhD candidate at Sabanci University in Turkey, wrote an article titled "Experimental Study of Combined Low Salinity and Surfactant Flooding Effect on Oil Recovery”. The article says that during the study a series of core displacement experiments was conducted on nine crude oil aged Berea core plugs that were designed to determine the impact of brine composition, wettability alteration, low salinity water and low salinity surfactant flooding on oil recovery. The results showed a significant potential of oil recovery with maximum additional oil recovery of 9.2% Original Oil in Place.
