Journal ArticleDOI

Wettability alteration of oil-wet carbonate by silica nanofluid.

TL;DR: It is concluded that silica based nanofluid formulations can be very effective as enhanced hydrocarbon recovery agents and can potentially be used for improving the efficiency of CO2 geo-storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of pressure and temperature on CO2-brine-mica contact angles and CO2-brine interfacial tension: Implications for carbon geo-sequestration

TL;DR: It is concluded that for a given storage depth, reservoirs with lower pressures and high temperatures can store larger volumes and thus exhibit better sealing efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receding and advancing (CO2 + brine + quartz) contact angles as a function of pressure, temperature, surface roughness, salt type and salinity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured contact angles for the CO2/water/quartz system at relevant reservoir conditions, and analyzed the effects of pressure (0.1 to 20)MPa, temperature (296 to 343) K, surface roughness (56 to 1300)nm, salt type (NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2) and brine salinities (0 to 35)
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-scale x-ray computed tomography analysis of coal microstructure and permeability changes as a function of effective stress

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how coal microstructure is related to changes in effective stress and how these parameters are interrelated, and found that when effective stress increased, the cleats became narrow and closed or disconnected.
