Experimental Investigation of the effect ions concentration, aging temperature and pH on Wettability alteration Process in Carbonate Rocks by Contact Angle Measurement [PDF]
شیمی کاربردی روز, 2013 Naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs have very low oil recovery efficiency owing to their wettability and tightness of matrix. Recovery efficiency can be considerably improved by changing reservoir rock wettability from oil-wetting to water-wetting ...

Surfactant-Induced Wettability Alteration
Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas, 2022 Contact of surfactant solution onto rock surface has an important impact on the wettability alteration of the rock. This phenomenon has widely received attention of researchers on the field of EOR (enhanced oil recovery), at which surfactant solution basically has been used as the main injection fluid. However, there has not yet come up with conclusive
