Oil/water/rock wettability: Influencing factors and implications for low salinity water flooding in carbonate reservoirs

Journal Article Chen, Yongqiang ; Xie, Quan ; Sari, Ahmad ; ... - Fuel

Wettability of the oil/brine/rock system is an essential petro-physical parameter which governs subsurface multiphase flow behaviour and the distribution of fluids, thus directly affecting oil recovery. Recent studies [1–3] show that manipulation of injected brine composition can enhance oil recovery by shifting wettability from oil-wet to water-wet. However, what factor(s) control system wettability has not been completely elucidated due to incomplete understanding of the geochemical system. To isolate and identify the key factors at play we used in this paper SO₄²—free solutions to examine the effect of salinity (formation brine/FB, 10 times diluted formation brine/10 dFB, and 100 times dilutedmore »« less

Surface Reactivity Analysis of the Crude Oil–Brine–Limestone Interface for a Comprehensive Understanding of the Low-Salinity Waterflooding Mechanism

Journal Article Tetteh, Joel T. ; Veisi, Masoumeh ; Brady, Patrick V. ; ... - Energy and Fuels

Low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) has proven to improve oil recovery in carbonate formations through rock wettability alteration, although the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Multivalent ionic exchange and calcite dissolution have usually been investigated using geochemical analysis in secondary coreflooding. In this work, coreflooding, in tertiary mode, coupled with a surface reactivity analysis approach was employed to investigate the interplay of wettability alteration mechanisms such as mineral dissolution, electrostatic bond attraction, and the effect of pH at in situ conditions. Improved oil recovery (IOR) in tertiary mode observed by coreflooding in Indiana limestone rocks showed an ionic strength dependence, that is, reducingmore »« less
