Investigation of crude oil properties impact on wettability alteration during low salinity water flooding using an improved geochemical model

Abstract In low-salinity water flooding (LSWF), modifying the injected brine composition leads to greater oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. The processes that control improved recovery during LSWF are not totally clear, which could lead to ambiguities in finding optimum brine composition regar...
