Description

Wettability is a key concept in petroleum engineering, referring to the ability of a fluid (such as oil) to adhere to and maintain contact with the surface of reservoir rock. Wettability alteration is a complex concept, and various methods and techniques may be employed depending on the specific conditions and characteristics of each reservoir and the oil it contains. In general, it may be affected by several factors like reservoir pressure, reservoir temperature and reservoir fluid composition. In general, changes in wettability can involve the factors like pressure, temperature and fluid content composition. By considering the changes in oil wettability, petroleum engineers can implement various strategies and techniques in reservoir engineering and production operations to mitigate the adverse effects of wettability or leverage wettability changes to enhance oil production. In this paper, reservoir rock wettability analysis of a studied geological formation will be explained and discussed by using available data from several reservoir selected cores.
