An experimental study of the physical mechanisms of fluid flow in tight carbonate core samples by binary surfactants by Ayomikun Bello, Anastasia Ivanova, Alexander Rodionov, Tagir Karamov, Andrey Morkovkin, Alexey Cheremisin

“…The results showed a significant influence of the nonionic surfactant with a considerable reduction in adsorption values of 53% and 28% in its anionic-nonionic and cationic-nonionic blends, respectively. Although contact angle measurements taken after aging oil-treated carbonate discs in binary surfactant solutions indicated that wettability was not significantly altered, the binary systems demonstrated the highest efficiency in terms of oil production during spontaneous imbibition tests. …”
