Oil Contact Angles in a Water-Decane-Silicon Dioxide System: Effects of Surface Charge

Abstract Oil wettability in the water-oil-rock systems is very sensitive to the evolution of surface charges on the rock surfaces induced by the adsorption of ions and other chemical agents in water flooding. Through a set of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we reveal the effects of surfa...
