Characterization of the dynamic ift of surfactant-in-brine/n-heptane/shale systems; an enhanced oil recovery perspective

The main goal of using surfactants as a fracture agent in tight shale gas reservoirs is to minimize the capillarity, interfacial tension, modify contact angle and reservoir wettability. Most of the recent studies conducted similar experiments at ambient conditions. However, one of the limitations of...
