Methodology for obtaining contact angles in rock sample images using image processing and polynomial fitting techniques

Abstract Estimating the contact angle in very complex rock pores presents some challenges to accurately identify the fluid–rock contact surface. This work presents a methodology to estimate the contact angle formed by the brine–rock and the brine–oil interfaces on processing high-resolution images p...
