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.

Time-Dependent Physicochemical Changes of Carbonate Surfaces from SmartWater (Diluted Seawater) Flooding Processes for Improved Oil Recovery. [PDF]
, 2018 Over the past few decades, field- and laboratory-scale studies have shown enhancements in oil recovery when reservoirs, which contain high-salinity formation water (FW), are waterflooded with modified-salinity salt water (widely referred to as the low ...

Numerical study of low salinity water flooding for enhancing oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs by coupling fluid flow equations with geochemical reactions of ion exchange and calcite dissolution [PDF]
مجله مدل سازی در مهندسی, 2019 Low salinity water (LSW) flooding is one of the emerging EOR methods which has recently attracted lots of attention. Wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet triggered by ion exchange between low salinity water and rock surface is one of the ...

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 ...

Adhesion of endothelial cells and adsorption of serum proteins on gas plasma-treated polytetrafluoroethylene [PDF]
, 1991 From in vitro experiments it is known that human endothelial cells show poor adhesion to hydrophobic polymers. The hydrophobicity of vascular prostheses manufactured from Teflon® or Dacron® may be the reason why endothelialization of these grafts does ...

Aging Effect on Rock Wettability Alteration
Journal of Petroleum Research and Studies, 2022 One of the factors controlling fluid distribution in porous media is wettability, which is ranging from water-wet to oil wet. Wettability could be changed due to the long-time contact with hydrocarbon liquids. Wettability alteration resulting from the aging of core samples in hydrocarbon liquids becomes a widely used technique.
