Abstract: Measurement of in-situ petroleum reservoir wettability at the current salinity and at different salinities and water compositions. That data may be used to derive the crude oil acid and base equilibrium constants for the oil-surface adhesion reaction that control wettability. These constants may be used in quantitative models of the reservoir wettability. This procedure produces an accurate description of reservoir wettability and identifies the specific water chemistry that will optimize in-situ wettability and, in turn, oil production.
Abstract: Methods for enhanced oil recovery from subterranean formations by treating a produced water prior to injection into the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir and manipulating produced water compositions to increase the rate and/or amount of oil that is recovered from producing wells and/or a hydrocarbon reservoir. The treatment of the produced water can increase the pH of the water from about 0.75 to about 2.0.
