Residual Saturation of Water-Wet Sandstones: Experiments, Correlations and Pore-Scale Modeling

Displacement experiments using the porous plate method were conducted on water-wet sandstones to measure the capillary trapping of oil by waterflooding as a function of its saturation after primary drainage. Three sandstone samples ranging in porosity from 12.2% to 22.1% were considered. Experiments...
