| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with low concentration brine is increasing its application because it has less environmental impact and is more economical than EOR using conventional chemical agents. However, the mechanism that improves the oil recovery rate has not been fully elucidated. So, in this research, it aims at investigating the adsorption structure of oil on the mineral surface when changing salt concentration, and clarifying the EOR mechanism by low concentration brine from molecular level. We have performed X-Ray crystal truncation rod experiment, molecular dynamics simulations, and wettability measurement. In the case of clay mineral such as in sandstone reservoir, it is found that divalent Ca2+ ions play an essential role by forming cation bridging structure between acidic oil and minerals at high pH condition. In the case of calcite such as in carbonate reservoir, it is found that adsorption is stronger at low pH condition. The monovalent Na+ is found to be more important.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
低濃度塩水による石油増進回収法(EOR)は従来の化学薬剤を用いるEORに比べて環境負荷が小さく経済的であることから、適用例が増えている。しかし、その油回収率を向上させるメカニズムは十分に解明されておらず、油田によってはその効果がほとんど見られない場合もある。実験やシミュレーションを含む分子スケールの研究を実行することによって、我々は低塩分濃度水攻法によるEORメカニズムに関する新しい理論を提供することができた。
