Determination of critical alkalinity (pH) in Fahliyan carbonate reservoir using a new methodology
Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2019 Formation damage is a great concern in reservoir management and can potentially occur due to exposure of formation to alkaline fluids. Exceeding pH over a critical pH may result in an in situ release of fine particles and therefore can cause pore ...
