Wettability alteration and oil recovery by spontaneous imbibition of smart water and surfactants into carbonates

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2020
Naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs have very low oil recovery efficiency owing to their wettability and tightness of matrix. However, smart water can enhance oil recovery by changing the wettability of the carbonate rock surface from oil-wet to ...
