Insights into the mechanism of wettability alteration by low-salinity flooding (LSF) in carbonates
The low-salinity effect (LSE) in carbonate rock has been less explored in comparison to
sandstone rock. Laboratory experiments have shown that brine composition and (somewhat …

Critical review of low-salinity waterflooding
JJ Sheng - Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2014 - Elsevier
It was observed that higher oil recovery could be obtained when low-salinity (LS) water
flooded a core of high-salinity initial water about 15 years ago. Such low-salinity …
