Low salinity brine injection using a new green nanocomposite by considering the interfacial tension, contact angle, and spontaneous imbibition tests by Yaser Ahmadi, Seyed Reza Mousavifard, Mohsen Mansouri

“…After performing characterization tests, as the main novelty of the present work, NCs optimum concentrations were obtained considering the reservoir conditions with the highest zeta potential and the greatest decrease in contact angle (70 °C and 3200 psi), which was 40 ppm. Then different solutions were obtained using different ions MgCl2, CaCl2, and MgSO4, and 40 ppm of NCs were prepared for further rock/fluid and displacement efficiency tests. …”
