Wettability Alteration Mechanisms in Enhanced Oil Recovery with Surfactants and Nanofluids: A Review with Microfluidic Applications
Modifying reservoir surface wetting properties is an appealing topic to the upstream oil and gas industry for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery as the shifting of reservoir rock surface wetting from oil-wet to water-wet has enhanced the oil recovery by as much as 70–80%. In the last few decades, resear...
