Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the Mechanism of Wettability Alteration by Low-Salinity Flooding (LSF) in Carbonates
Hassan Mahani,Arsene Levy Keya,Steffen Berg,W. B. Bartels,Ramez A. Nasralla,William R. Rossen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the mechanism leading to improved oil recovery in carbonate rock and showed that brine composition and (somewhat reduced) salinity can have a positive impact on oil recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Literature review of low salinity waterflooding from a length and time scale perspective
TL;DR: In this article, a review of low salinity waterflooding at the sub-pore scale is presented, where the main uncertainty lies in how results from subpore-scale experiments connect to core-scale results, which happens on the pore-network scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of Low-Salinity-Flooding Effect
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a model system for sandstone rock of reduced complexity that consists of clay minerals (Na-montmorillonite) deposited on a glass substrate and covered with crude-oil droplets and in which different effects can be separated to increase their fundamental understanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil Configuration Under High-Salinity and Low-Salinity Conditions at Pore Scale: A Parametric Investigation by Use of a Single-Channel Micromodel
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Mixed Wettability on Pore-Scale Flow Regimes Based on a Flooding Experiment in Ketton Limestone
M. Rücker,M. Rücker,W. B. Bartels,W. B. Bartels,Kamaljit Singh,Niels Brussee,Ab Coorn,H. A. van der Linde,Anne Bonnin,Holger Ott,S. M. Hassanizadeh,Martin J. Blunt,Hassan Mahani,A. Georgiadis,A. Georgiadis,Steffen Berg,Steffen Berg +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pore-scale flow regime in a carbonate altered to a mixed-wet condition by aging with crude oil to represent the natural configuration in an oil reservoir with fast synchrotron-based X-ray computed tomography was studied.
