High-concentration brines generally cause the wettability of petroleum fluid-brine-rock systems to become less water-wet (more oil-wet). The addition of alcohols to the brine, however, may produce an opposite effect. In this work, we investigate the

We report results from a systematic investigation of the effect of the temperature on the wettability of oil/brine/rock systems. An oil sample, produced from a sandstone reservoir, was tested on sandstone-like substrates (i.e., mica and quartz) in Na

Wetting and alteration of wetting are among the most important material properties of fluid–fluid–substrate systems in biological and industrial systems. An important industrial application of wetting and wetting alteration is related to displace

Pilots are widely used for the purpose of gathering valuable information about performance and practical challenges of implementing a particular CEOR process in a given field (Adibhatla and Wattenbarger, 2009; Cheng et al., 2012). A critical step in

Chemical-based wettability modification has become important for the worldwide abundance of fractured carbonates with the potential to enhance water imbibition to expel more oil from a matrix to the fractures. A systematic experimental and modeling a

Summary Laboratory surfactant and hot-water floods have shown a great potential in increasing oil recovery for reservoirs that are naturally fractured and have low-permeability, mixed-wet matrix rocks. Fractured, mixed-wet formations usually have poo

Recent research findings suggest that wettability modification holds a great potential for increased oil production from mixed-wet and fractured carbonates. Our current knowledge of the field-scale performance of these processes is very limited despi

Field-scale applications of chemical flooding become more attractive with higher oil prices. Several pilot and commercial scale chemical floods are currently in operation or design. Economic feasibility of such projects relies on how cost-effectively

Waterfloods performed in carbonate and naturally fractured reservoirs frequently suffer from relatively poor sweep efficiency by virtue of geological heterogeneity and preferentially oil-wet rock surface commonly seen in these reservoirs. The applica
