Review of low salinity waterflooding in carbonate rocks: mechanisms, investigation techniques, and future directions

JT Tetteh, PV Brady, RB Ghahfarokhi - Advances in Colloid and Interface …, 2020 - Elsevier
This review analyses the fundamental thermodynamic theory of the crude oil-brine-rock
(COBR) interface and the underlying rock-brine and oil-brine interactions. The available …

Ionic interactions at the crude oil–brine–rock interfaces using different surface complexation models and DLVO theory: application to carbonate wettability

JT Tetteh, R Barimah, PK Korsah - ACS omega, 2022 - ACS Publications
The impact of ionic association with the carbonate surface and its influence toward
carbonate wettability remains unclear and is an important topic of interest in the current …

[PDF][PDF] Investigation of Rock-Fluid Interactions in Carbonate Reservoirs with the Use of Digital Rock Physics

A Shapoval - 2022 - scholar.archive.org
Carbonates are sedimentary rocks of mostly endogenic deposition. Up to 60% of world's oil
and gas reserves are stored in carbonate reservoirs. The main rock types of these type of …
