Efficiency of enhanced oil recovery by injection of low-salinity water in barium-containing carbonate reservoirs

Abstract When low-salinity water containing sulfate ions is injected into carbonate reservoirs, rock dissolution and in situ precipitation occur, altering rock permeability and wettability. Particularly, when barium ions are present in formation water, they react chemically with $${\text{SO}}_{4}^{2...
