EVALUATION OF THE COUPLED IMPACT OF SILICON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AND LOW-SALINITY WATER ON THE WETTABILITY ALTERATION OF BEREA SANDSTONES

Evaluation of the coupled impact of silicon oxide nanoparticles and low-salinity water on the wettability alteration of Berea sandstones

This study investigated experimentally the coupled effects of hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and low-salinity water (LSW) on the wettability of synthetic clay-free Berea sandstone.Capillary pressure, interfacial tension (IFT), contact angle, Zeta potential, and dynamic displacement measurements were performed at various NP mass fractions and
