Role of Monovalent and Divalent Ions in Low-Salinity Water Flood in Carbonate Reservoirs: An Integrated Analysis through Zeta Potentiometric and Simulation Studies

Role of Monovalent and Divalent Ions in Low-Salinity Water Flood in Carbonate Reservoirs: An Integrated Analysis through Zeta Potentiometric and Simulation Studies

The presence of principal ions in the water injected is essential for enhanced oil recovery by formation of water-wet state in carbonates. This study reaffirms this and presents an evaluation of the positive influence of both divalent as wells as monovalent ions on wettability alteration mechanisms...
