Recovery
Wettability and Oil Recovery
• Primary Oil recovery is affected by wettability of the system as greater
primary oil recovery occurs in a water wet system.
• Studies are done for water flooding and analysis of relative
permeability curves behaviour.
• Results of the study shows that as the system become more oil wet
less oil is recovered at any given amount of injected water.
Recovery efficiency as a function of water injected and wettability
• Relative Permeability curves are used for quantative
evaluation of water flood performance and the effect of
wettability can be observed in changes that occur in Kr
curves.
