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 …

Abstract Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) is an attractive technology for large-scale
(TWh) renewable energy storage. To ensure the safety and efficiency of the UHS, it is crucial …

Wettability is one of the key controlling parameters for multiphase flow in porous media, and
paramount for various geoscience applications. While a general awareness of the …

Wetting phenomena are of central importance for many natural and technological processes
in subsurface geosciences. Surface roughness, chemical heterogeneity, and dynamic …

Geologic sequestration in sedimentary formations has been identified as a potential
technology to prevent climate‐change inducing carbon dioxide (CO2) from being emitted to …

The wettability of porous media strongly affects the trapping mechanism and storage
capacity during CO 2 geological storage. Various novel measuring methods have been …

Hypothesis Emerging energy-related technologies deal with multiscale hierarchical
structures, intricate surface morphology, non-axisymmetric interfaces, and complex contact …

Hypothesis Understanding wetting behavior is of great importance for natural systems and
technological applications. The traditional concept of contact angle, a purely geometrical …

Abstract Hypothesis The Lucas-Washburn (LW) equation is the classical theory to describe
the dynamics of spontaneous imbibition in single micro-channels and micro-scale porous …
