Molecular Dynamics Investigation of Wettability Alteration of Quartz Surface under Thermal Recovery Processes

Molecular Dynamics Investigation of Wettability Alteration of Quartz Surface under Thermal Recovery Processes

One of the primary methods for bitumen and heavy oil recovery is a steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. However, the mechanisms related to wettability alteration under the SAGD process still need to be fully understood. In this study, we used MD simulation to evaluate the wettability alte...
