Impact of water saturation and cation concentrations on wettability alteration and oil recovery of carbonate rocks using low-salinity water

Abstract In this study, the effect of initial water saturation on the oil recovery for carbonate rocks is investigated using spontaneous imbibition experiments. The experiments are performed using 20 times diluted sea water as imbibing fluid and the sea water as initial water. In addition, the impac...
