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 …

This paper presents new data on core-scale wettability alteration of carbonate porous media
with FM concentrations up to 30 wt% in NaCl brine. Experimental data from Amott tests, core …

In low-salinity water flooding (LSWF), modifying the injected brine composition leads to
greater oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. The processes that control improved recovery …

Wettability alteration as the main mechanism of improved oil recovery in carbonates during
low salinity/engineered water flooding (LS/EWF) is a complex phenomenon due to high …

ζ-Potential is applied in many subsurface processes including in the petroleum industry,
deep saline aquifers, and geothermal fields to understand oil recovery, hydrogen, and CO2 …

The application of nanoparticles (NPs) in the oil and gas industry has received wide
attention in recent years because it is increasingly being considered a promising approach …

We present a new unified model for the permeability, electrical conductivity and streaming
potential coupling coefficient in variably saturated fractured media. For those, we …

Competitive adsorption behavior of reagents is of great significance for efficient flotation
separation of minerals. Motivated by the surface complex adsorption, surface complexation …

Dissolution and precipitation processes modify the structure of the porous media at
microscale which significantly affects the macroscopic properties of the media. These …

To investigate the role of hydrogeological conditions on the release of major and trace
elements during CO 2 leakage occurring in shallow freshwater aquifers in a CO 2 Capture …
