Digital rock workflow to calculate wettability distribution in a reservoir rock [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Wettability has a strong influence on multi-phase flow behavior through reservoir rock. Reservoir rocks tend to have spatially varying wettability. Prior to contact with oil, rocks are almost always naturally water-wet. As oil invades the pore-space over
