Permeability damage due to the water sensitivity of three types of sandstone cores was studied. X-ray diffraction showed that the cores contain varying amount of clays and that the Aramco sandstone cores have a higher ratio of smectites (6% relative abundance among clay families) than the other two

The flow of gas in tight, low-pressure gas wells can be partially blocked by the water saturation build-up near the hydraulic fracture face if the drawdown pressure does not exceed the capillary pressure. To increase the productivity, the water saturation may be reduced by alteration of the near-wel
Wettability is a major factor controlling the location, flow and distribution of fluids in a reservoir rock. The wettability of a core will have effects on almost all types of core analyses, hereby wettability changes and remaining oil saturation during microbial enhanced oil recovery processes. The
## Abstract In this work, polypropylene/clay nanocomposites with 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 wt % of montmorillonite (MMT) (unmodified clay) were prepared by intensive mixing at 50 rpm and 10 min of mixing. For the highest clay content (5 wt %), the initial materials or the processing conditions were changed
