Abstract Low Salinity Water Injection (LSWI) has been a well-researched EOR method, with
several experimental and theoretical scientific papers reported in the literature over the past …

Low salinity water flooding (LSWF) has gained wide attention due to low-cost accessibility
and environmental friendly characteristics of the method. Since now a profound …

At present, the mechanism of the influence of salinity on wettability of reservoir rocks is still
insufficient. In this paper, molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the wetting …

Reservoir wettability is very important to predict the structure and residual capture capacity,
potential CO 2 leakage accidents and improve the risk assessment and sequestration safety …

Water is the most abundant molecule found on the earth's surface and is a key factor in
multiscale rock destruction. However, given the fine-grained nature of rock and the …

Abstract Smart Water ions (Ca 2+, Mg 2+, and SO 4 2−) have been found to alter the
wettability of oil-wet calcite surfaces, however, the widely proposed multi-ion exchange …

The emission of CO 2-rich industrial waste gas (CO 2-rich IWG) poses a huge challenge to
environmental protection. If the CO 2-rich IWG could be used directly or after simple …

Surfactants adsorption onto carbonate reservoirs would cause surfactants concentrations
decrease in surfactant flooding, which would decrease surfactant efficiency in practical …

This research provides an atomistic picture of the role of ions in modulating the
microstructural features of an oil-contaminated calcite surface. This is of crucial importance …

This research provides an atomic-level insight into the synergic contribution of mono-and
divalent ions to interfacial characteristics of calcite surfaces exposed to electrolyte solution …
