... behind such extra recovery. This study investigates the wettability alteration of calcite crystal and carbonates outcrop rock surface aged in model oils of total acid number of 2 and then treated with different brines. Model oils were prepared by mixing toluene with short chain (Heptanoic acid) and long...

... as well as its effects on the physical characteristics of the rock, including the elastic, storage, and transport properties. Whereas it may be safe to assume that the presence of carbon dioxide does not alter the mineral matrix in most clastic reservoirs, the situation is very different in carbonates...
