Role of Basal-Charged Clays in Low Salinity Effect in Sandstone Reservoirs: Adhesion Force on Muscovite using Atomic Force Microscope

Low salinity water flooding appears to be an important means to improved oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs. Wettability alteration has been identified as the main effect behind low salinity water flooding due to the interaction of oil-brine-rock interfaces, where clay minerals play a significant...
