Wettability alteration of calcite oil wells: Influence of smart water ions
Abstract Further enhancement of crude oil recovery in the enhanced recovery stage from calcite oil wells is a major global challenge for oil industry. Experimental results suggest that ions present in sea water, also called smart water, have a significant influence on the wettability alteration (les...
