The effect of nanoparticles on reservoir wettability alteration: a critical review
Petroleum Science, 2020 A novel concept of treating oil reservoirs by nanofluids is being developed to improve oil recovery and reduce the trapped oil in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Nanoparticles show great potential in enhancing oil recovery under ambient conditions. In this paper,

How Wettability Controls Nanoprinting [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations, we study in detail the impact of nanometer droplets of low viscosity on flat substrates versus the wettability of the solid plate. The comparison between the molecular dynamics simulations and different macroscopic models reveals that most of these models do not correspond to the simulation results at ...

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
