Fundamentals of Wettability

by ESal | Jul 6, 2007 | Other Publications, Suggested Reads on Wettability

Fundamentals of Wettability Originally Posted on Schlumberger Website (Multiple Authors) Understanding formation wettability is crucial for optimizing oil recovery. The oilversus-water wetting preference influences many aspects of reservoir performance, particularly...

Effective Wettability of Minerals Exposed to Crude Oil

by ESal | Jun 6, 2001 | Other Publications, Suggested Reads on Wettability

Effective Wettability of Minerals Exposed to Crude Oil Jill S.Buckley Abstract This review focuses on the macroscopic phenomena that can be used to assess effective wetting, especially the use of contact angles to quantify wetting conditions in the presence of brine...

Some Mechanisms of Crude Oil/Brine/Solid Interactions

by ESal | Dec 6, 1998 | Other Publications, Suggested Reads on Wettability

Some Mechanisms of Crude Oil/Brine/Solid Interactions J.S.Buckley Y.Liu AbstractMechanisms by which crude oil components may adsorb on high energy mineral surfaces include polar, acid/base, and ion-binding interactions. Surface precipitation of asphaltic material can...

Base Number and Wetting Properties of Crude Oils

by ESal | Dec 6, 1993 | Other Publications, Suggested Reads on Wettability

Base Number and Wetting Properties of Crude Oils S.T. Dubey (Shell Development Co.) P.H. Doe (Shell Development Co.) Summary Oil acid and base numbers influence wetting through their effect on electrostatic interactions with the mineral surface. An improved nonaqueous...

Oil Recovery by Surface Film Drainage in Mixed Wettability Rocks

by ESal | Oct 6, 1973 | Other Publications, Suggested Reads on Wettability

Oil Recovery by Surface Film Drainage in Mixed Wettability Rocks R.A. Salathiel Introduction Material-balance data on the East Texas reservoir indicate that a very efficient water-oil displacement is being attained. Also, cores recovered with a pressure-retaining core...
