Probing Wettability Alteration of the Boron Nitride Surface through Rheometry [PDF]
Langmuir, 2018 While the surface of many ceramic particles is covered by positive and negative species, boron nitride displays no charge on the surface. Nevertheless, the interest in boron nitride is rising: Little materials combine electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity; both properties are required for many applications, for instance, in electronic ...

Wettability Alteration of Sandstone and Carbonate Rocks by Using ZnO Nanoparticles in Heavy Oil Reservoirs [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2015 Efforts to enhance oil recovery through wettability alteration by nanoparticles have been attracted in recent years. However, many basic questions have been ambiguous up until now.

Modelling of wettability alteration processes in carbonate oil reservoirs
Networks & Heterogeneous Media, 2008 Previous studies have shown that seawater may alter the wettability in the direction of more water-wet conditions in carbonate reservoirs. The reason for this is that ions from the salt (sulphat, magnesium, calsium, etc) can create a wettability alteration toward more water-wet conditions as salt is absorbed on the rock.

How much would silica nanoparticles enhance the performance of low-salinity water flooding?
Petroleum Science, 2019 Nanofluids and low-salinity water (LSW) flooding are two novel techniques for enhanced oil recovery. Despite some efforts on investigating benefits of each method, the pros and cons of their combined application need to be evaluated.

Influence of Clay Wettability Alteration on Relative Permeability
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractUnderstanding the wettability of porous materials is important to model fluid flow in the subsurface. One of the critical factors that influences wetting in real reservoirs is the composition of geologic materials. The wetting properties for clay minerals can have a particularly strong impact on flow and transport.
