DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2019.106297
Abstract: Abstract Formation damage during displacement of dead oil by aqueous silica nanofluids was studied in two identical glass micromodels with water-wet and oil-wet surfaces in the presence and absence of connate water saturation. Nanofluids with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl109123
Abstract: Carbon storage technology is primarily targeted in saline formations, which is a porous rock matrix filled with brine, sealed with a low permeability caprock. There are significant variations of CO2 wetting properties, typically reported in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/en18215771
Abstract: Counter-current, spontaneous imbibition of brine into oil-saturated rocks is a critical process for recovery of bypassed oil in carbonate reservoirs. However, the classic Amott-cell test introduces experimental artifacts that distort the true dynamics of oil… read more here.
