INVESTIGATION OF METHODS TO MAKE ROCKS MORE WATER WET

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is an essential method to maximize the extraction of residual oil from reservoirs. EOR methods can be classified as gas flooding, hydrocarbon miscible injection, thermal and chemical injection. Wettability is one of the key parameters targeting the remaining oil-in-place....
