Characteristics of Viscoelastic-Surfactant-Induced Wettability Alteration in Porous Media

Characteristics of Viscoelastic-Surfactant-Induced Wettability Alteration in Porous Media

Wettability alteration is one of the most important mechanisms of surfactant flooding. In this work, the combined Amott/USBM (United States Bureau of Mines) method was applied to study the average wettability alteration of initially neutral cores after viscoelastic-surfactant (VES) filtration. The e...
