Numerical studies of long-term wettability alteration effects in CO2 storage applications [PDF]
, 2021 The wettability of the rock surface in porous media has an effect on the constitutive saturation functions that govern capillary pressure and relative permeability.

Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2019 Although wettability alteration has been shown to be the main control mechanism of Low Salinity and Smart Water (LS-SmW) injection, our understanding of the phenomena resulting in wettability changes still remains incomplete.

Applying low-salinity water to alter wettability in carbonate oil reservoirs: an experimental study
Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2020 Seawater has been widely used as an injection fluid for maintaining pressure in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. In the literature related to EOR research, it was noted that diluted seawater (low-salinity water) can highly improve recovery due to the ...

Wettability Alteration of Carbonate Rocks by Polyelectrolyte Complex Nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2019 More than fifty percent of oil reservoirs around the world are carbonate reservoirs. Oil recovery from carbonates requires closer attention due to the heterogeneity of the rock and its wettability system.

Oil recovery and wettability alteration in carbonates due to carbonate water injection
Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2017 Enhanced oil recovery in carbonates due to wettability alteration has received much attention recently. In contrast to sandstones reservoirs, carbonates are neutral-wet or preferentially oil-wet.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Heliyon, 2023 Despite the positive aspects of low salinity water (LSW), this technique is relatively expensive and unavailable in some countries. Furthermore, potential problems associated with LSW such as scale precipitation in carbonate reservoirs and fine migration

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We show that emergence of castration‐resistant prostate (CRPC) is associated with significant upregulation of cyclins that positively regulate cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and concomitant downregulation of CDK4 cyclins. This renders CRPC cells dependent on the high activity of CDK2, and CDK2 inhibitors synergistically sensitize CRPC cells to both ...

Underlying Mechanisms of Tight Reservoir Wettability and Its Alteration
, 2018 The wettability of tight reservoir rock plays a critical role in affecting relative permeability and in turn oil recovery. However, the link between wettability and its effects on oil recovery remains poorly understood, and the potential to boost oil ...
