Effects of initial wettability and different surfactant-silica nanoparticles flooding scenarios on oil-recovery from carbonate rocks

Initial wettability of rock surfaces plays a crucial role in displacement efficiency during core flooding experiments. In this study, linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) and silica nanoparticles (NPs) were utilized as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agents to improve oil recovery from carbonate ro...
