The mass transfer between CO2 and crude oil is crucial for CO2-EOR. However, traditional methods are complex time-consuming, leading to slow progress in the study of oil. This employed microfluidic technology generate gas–liquid slug flow rapid investigation process within ∼30 s. A method was developed eliminate pressure drop term, suitable studies systems where liquid phase's high viscosity led a high-pressure drop. systematically investigated effects gas rates, temperature, type concentration surfactants on liquid-side volumetric coefficients These enable assessment influence factors other provide data foundation reactor design optimization.
