Insights into the Mechanism of Wettability Alteration by Low-Salinity Flooding (LSF) in Carbonates [PDF]
, 2015 The low-salinity effect (LSE) in carbonate rock has been less explored in comparison to sandstone rock. Laboratory experiments have shown that brine composition and (somewhat reduced) salinity can have a positive impact on oil recovery in carbonates ...

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2021 Previous studies reported that the presence of surfactant increases nanoparticles surface wettability by in-situ surface activation. On the other hand, the excess of surfactant concentration has an inverse effect on particle hydrophobicity by altering ...

Altering Emulsion Stability with Heterogeneous Surface Wettability [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractEmulsions–liquid droplets dispersed in another immiscible liquid–are widely used in a broad spectrum of applications, including food, personal care, agrochemical and pharmaceutical products. Emulsions are also commonly present in natural crude oil, hampering the production and quality of petroleum fuels.

Wettability versus roughness of engineering surfaces [PDF]
, 2011 Wetting of real engineering surfaces occurs in many industrial applications (liquid coating, lubrication, printing, painting, ...). Forced and natural wetting can be beneficial in many cases, providing lubrication and therefore reducing friction and wear.

A Critical Review of Wettability Alteration of Retrograde Gas Condensate Reservoirs Using Nanoparticles [PDF]
Journal of Chemical and Petroleum EngineeringCondensate and liquid blockage is a serious problem in gas condensate reservoirs as it reduces gas production. There are many methods to solve this problem, however, most of them are temporary or expensive.

A critical review of carbonate reservoir wettability modification during low salinity waterflooding
Petroleum, 2023 The nature of carbonate reservoirs promotes the adsorption of oil onto the rock surface hence making oil recovery a challenge even with the interventions of varied chemical EOR methods.
