... together synergistically to reduce the adhesion energy between the oil and rock (calcite) surfaces across the aqueous brine (‘water') film, which increases the water-wettability; and (3) detachment of organic-ionic layers that adsorb onto the rock surfaces during aging as thin and suspended flakes...

... rock surface solid surface recovery factor wettability alteration fracture reservoir rock wettability mineral reservoir Oil Recovery reservoir wettability Introduction A synchrotron is a particle accelerator that produces highly collimated, wavelength-tunable x-ray beams...

... for the current work since it allows monitoring the physical and chemical alteration of rock surface after interacting with fluids which contain specific types and amount of ions. In addition, since NMR is non-destructive measurement, the effect of various types of fluids with the identical rock sample before...

... concentration rock surface experiment wettability aquifer water substrate concentration rock substrate Introduction The objective of this paper is to investigate if low salinity water is more effective than normal brine in waterflooding operation. Less attention has been given to the chemistry...

..., to determine the drop size dependency of dynamic contact angle subtended by the oil-brine interface against the rock surface. The experimental data have been correlated with the modified Young's equation to determine the magnitude of line tension in rock-oil-brine systems. To the best of our knowledge...
