Drivers of Low Salinity Effect in Carbonate Reservoirs

Wettability alteration appears to be the main mechanism of low salinity water flooding in carbonate reservoirs. However, what factor(s) controls the wettability alteration is not clearly defined. We hypothesized that zeta potential at interfaces of oil/brine and brine/rock controls the wettability a...
