The positive effect of modified salinity water (MSW) injection on oil recovery has been
broadly reported in the literature through core flooding experiment tests. Yet, the challenges …

During the modified salinity water (MSW) flooding, the injected water must first reach and
interact with the residual oil attached on the pore surfaces through a thin formation water film …

Modified salinity water (MSW) core flooding tests conducted in carbonates often exhibit a
delay in the additional oil recovery. It has been suggested that the ionic adsorption process …

In this thesis, the impacts of injecting water composition on the wetting tendency of the
carbonate rock surface and the role of reactive transportation of ionic species on the …

The injection of modified salinity water (MSW) within hydrocarbon reservoirs generally
improves oil production by inducing a shift in the relative mobility of the aqueous and oleic …

Modified salinity water (MSW) flooding is shown to be more effective at higher temperatures
in the coreflooding tests from the chalk reservoirs. The improvement of oil production that is …
