The low salinity/engineered water injection techniques (LSWI/EWI) have become one of the
most important research topics in the oil industry because of their possible advantages for …

Low salinity waterflood (LSW) has become an attractive enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
method as it shows more advantages than conventional chemical EOR methods in terms of …

Injection of brines with carefully designed ionic compositions into oil-wet carbonate rocks at
high temperatures has shown to alter their wettability towards a water-wet state and improve …

Nonuniform mixing during low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) is a function of the pore
geometry and flow patterns within the porous system. Salinity-dependent wettability …

Laboratory experiments and small-scale field tests have shown that injection of low salinity
brine can improve oil recovery from carbonate rocks. Contact angle studies, spontaneous …

Wettability alteration has been proposed as one of the dominating effects of engineered
salinity waterflooding (EWF). Most of the existing approaches for modeling wettability …

The introduction reviews topics relevant to the fundamental controls on fluid flow in
carbonate reservoirs and to the prediction of reservoir performance. The review provides …

Abstract Kuwait Oil Company has recognized the implications of the recent technological
advances that are very likely to transform the oil industry and make chemical enhanced oil …

Low-salinity waterflooding is an emerging enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) technique in which
the salinity of the injected water is substantially reduced to improve oil recovery over …

Carbonate reservoirs hold a substantial amount of our existing oil reserves. However,
waterflood recovery from these reservoirs is often low due to their oil-wet nature. Recent …
