Effect of Initial Wettability on Performance of Smart Water Flooding in Carbonate Reservoirs—An Experimental Investigation with IOR Implications

In this paper, the effects of salinity and active ions on wettability alteration in carbonate reservoirs with different initial wettability conditions with implications in smart water flood design, optimization, and performance analysis are experimentally investigated. Contact angle measurement was...
