Impact of temperature and SO42- on electrostatic controls over carbonate wettability

The use of modified salinity and modified composition brines (MSMC), referred to as smart water, to alter carbonate surface wettability at different temperatures has gained enormous popularity. However, an effective way to quantify the geochemical, thermodynamic and electrostatic factors responsible for wettability alteration have still not been fully developed. In this work, a surface complexation model (SCM) based on geochemical and...
