Wettability Studies

ABOUT

To understand how the injected water might alter the reservoir rock’s wettability, which influences oil displacement efficiency. Techniques like contact angle measurements and zeta potential analysis are used.

Significance of Wettability:

Wettability plays a key role in enhancing oil recovery, as well as in optimizing coatings,
biomedical devices, and microfluidic systems. By classifying surfaces as hydrophilic or
hydrophobic, these studies help in understanding and improving material performance.

Assessment Methods:

Contact angle measurements are the standard method for evaluating wettability. This
technique allows for precise categorization of surface properties, aiding in the selection and
design of materials tailored to specific applications.
Understanding and controlling wettability contributes to improved outcomes in various fields,
ensuring that materials perform optimally under diverse conditions
