Description

The wettability of oil reservoirs is the most important factor controlling the rate of oil recovery, providing a profound effect on petroleum production. The oil industry has increased the research effort on wettability but so far there has never been a comprehensive book on the topic. This book covers all the essential facets. Critical topics include core preservation, effect of wettability on relative permeability, surface forces, oil traps and pore size effect. Deciphering the techniques and examples will increase the efficiency and production of oil recovery, translating to stronger reservoir simulations and improved well production.
