Variations in Wettability and Interfacial Tension during Alkali–Polymer Application for High and Low TAN Oils

The injection of chemicals into sandstones can lead to alterations in wettability, where oil characteristics such as the TAN (total acid number) may determine the wetting state of the reservoir. By combining the spontaneous imbibition principle and the evaluation of interfacial tension index, we pro...
