Wettability Changes Due to Nanomaterials and Alkali—A Proposed Formulation for EOR

We investigated the usage of two silica nanomaterials (surface-modified) and alkali in enhanced oil recovery through Amott spontaneous imbibition tests, interfacial tension (IFT) measurements, and phase behavior. We evaluated the wettability alteration induced by the synergy between nanomaterials an...
