Pore-Scale Analysis of Condensate Blockage Mitigation by Wettability Alteration
Energies, 2020 Liquid banking in the near wellbore region can lessen significantly the production from gas reservoirs. As reservoir rocks commonly consist of liquid-wet porous media, they are prone to liquid trapping following well liquid invasion and/or condensate ...

Capillary trapping of CO2 in oil reservoirs: observations in a mixed-wet carbonate rock [PDF]
, 2016 Early deployment of carbon dioxide storage is likely to focus on injection into mature oil reservoirs, most of which occur in carbonate rock units. Observations and modeling have shown how capillary trapping leads to the immobilization of CO2 in saline ...

Wettability alteration of oil-wet carbonate by silica nanofluid [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2016 Changing oil-wet surfaces toward higher water wettability is of key importance in subsurface engineering applications. This includes petroleum recovery from fractured limestone reservoirs, which are typically mixed or oil-wet, resulting in poor productivity as conventional waterflooding techniques are inefficient. A wettability change toward more water-

Wettability and wettability alteration at the pore- and nano- scales
, 2018 It has been well documented that Darcy scale multiphase flow is significantly influenced by the wettability of the fluid-solid system. So far this impact can only be determined through costly and time intensive experiments. To predict observations at the core-scale, smaller scale parameters influencing the results need to be determined and assessed. In

Analysis of the pathogenic factors and management of dry eye in ocular surface disorders [PDF]
, 2017 The tear film represents the interface between the eye and the environment. The alteration of the delicate balance that regulates the secretion and distribution of the tear film determines the dry eye (DE) syndrome. Despite having a multifactorial origin,
