Pore-scale investigation of selective plugging mechanism in immiscible two-phase flow using phase-field method

Biotechnology has had a major effect on improving crude oil displacement to increase petroleum production. The role of biopolymers and bio cells for selective plugging of production zones through biofilm formation has been defined. The ability of microorganisms to improve the volumetric sweep effici...
