Abstract Enhanced oil recovery in carbonates due to wettability alteration has received much attention recently. In contrast to sandstones reservoirs, carbonates are neutral-wet or preferentially oil-wet. The use of CO2 dissolved into water has emerged as an alternative method for EOR operations in...
