A Mechanistic Study of Wettability Alterations in Sandstone by Low Salinity Water Injection (LSWI) and CO2 Low Salinity Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) Injection

Low salinity water injection (LSWI), an emerging Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method, has proven to be effective in increasing oil recovery by wettability alteration. As low salinity water is injected into the reservoir, the pre-established equilibrium is disturbed. The chemical reactions among the o...
