The wettability of carbonate rocks is often oil-wet or mixed wet. A large fraction of oil is still
remained in carbonate reservoirs, it is therefore of particular significance to implement …

The wettability of carbonates is dictated by the stability of the water film between the rock
and the oil phase, which is related to the Zeta-potentials of the oil–water and water–rock …

This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Contact
Angle, Wettability and Adhesion held in Providence, Rhode Island, May 20a 23, 2002. This …

A considerable portion of the world' s hydrocarbon endowment is in carbonate
reservoirs. Carbonate reservoirs usually exhibit low porosity and may be fractured. These …

More than half of the global oil reserves are in carbonate reservoirs. Carbonate rocks,
however, in most cases tend to be mixed-wet or oil-wet. Wettability alteration of carbonate …

Spontaneous imbibition of wetting liquid into porous media is regarded as a crucially
important driving mechanism for enhancing oil recovery from naturally fractured reservoir …

Wettability modification plays a pivotal role in augmenting oil recovery from hydrocarbon
reservoirs, rendering it a primary focal point during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) …

The wetting nature of a carbonate reservoir determines the potential of improved oil recovery
by water injection, especially if the formation is highly fractured, which often is the case for …

Recovery from fractured, oil-wet/mixed-wet, carbonate reservoirs by waterflooding is poor.
Dilute surfactant methods are being developed to improve oil recovery from fractured …

Surfactants could react with adsorbates on carbonate rock surface to alter wettability from oil-
wetness to water-wetness, which is effective to enhance oil recovery. Surfactant huff-puff …
