Experimental Investigation of Wettability of Rock-CO2-Brine for Improved Reservoir Characterization

This work is a collection of experimental wettability data of various rock/CO2/brine combinations including calcite, mica, coals of various ranks, and shales of various TOC. Certain microscopic mechanisms responsible for wettability alteration are also addressed. The system investigated turned less...

description This work is a collection of experimental wettability data of various rock/CO2/brine combinations including calcite, mica, coals of various ranks, and shales of various TOC. Certain microscopic mechanisms responsible for wettability alteration are also addressed. The system investigated turned less water-wet with the increase in pressure and salinity, and more water-wet with temperature increase. The measured data has direct implications for the structural and residual trapping capacities in the context of geological CO2 storage.
