A review of CO2 storage in geological formations emphasizing modeling, monitoring and capacity estimation approaches

Temitope Ajayi, Jorge S. Gomes, Achinta Bera · 8 Jul 2019

The merits of CO 2 capture and storage to the environmental stability of our world should not be underestimated as emissions of greenhouse gases cause serious problems. It represents the only technology that might rid our atmosphere of the main anthropogenic gas while allowing for the continuous use of the fossil fuels which still power…

Review of surfactant-assisted chemical enhanced oil recovery for carbonate reservoirs: challenges and future perspectives

Sreela Pal, Muhammad Mushtaq, Fawzi Banat et al. · 4 Nov 2017

A significant fraction of the conventional oil reserves globally is in carbonate formations which contain a substantial amount of residual oil. Since primary and secondary recovery methods fail to yield above 20%–40% of original oil in place from these reserves, the need for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques for incremental oil recovery has become imperative.…

A review of development methods and EOR technologies for carbonate reservoirs

Zhengxiao Xu, Song-Yan Li, Binfei Li et al. · 3 Jun 2020

Abstract Carbonate reservoirs worldwide are complex in structure, diverse in form, and highly heterogeneous. Based on these characteristics, the reservoir stimulation technologies and fluid flow characteristics of carbonate reservoirs are briefly described in this study. The development methods and EOR technologies of carbonate reservoirs are systematically summarized, the relevant mechanisms are analyzed, and the application…

Advances in enhanced oil recovery technologies for low permeability reservoirs

Wanli Kang, Bobo Zhou, Miras Issakhov et al. · 17 Jun 2022

Low permeability oil and gas resources are rich and have great potential all over the world, which has gradually become the main goal of oil and gas development. However, after traditional primary and secondary exploitation, there is still a large amount of remaining oil that has not been recovered. Therefore, in recent years, enhanced oil…

The effect of nanoparticles on reservoir wettability alteration: a critical review

Hilmy Eltoum, Yulong Yang, Jirui Hou · 20 Sep 2020

Abstract A novel concept of treating oil reservoirs by nanofluids is being developed to improve oil recovery and reduce the trapped oil in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Nanoparticles show great potential in enhancing oil recovery under ambient conditions. In this paper, the approaches of wettability alteration by using nanofluid, stability of nanofluids, and the most reliable wettability…

Petroleum Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Petroleum Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Petroleum Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Petroleum Science use?
Petroleum Science uses Author–year (Vancouver) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Petroleum Science, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Petroleum Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Petroleum Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Petroleum Science template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Petroleum Science format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Petroleum Science?
Petroleum Science is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Petroleum Science template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Petroleum Science PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Petroleum Science template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
