In this study, the effects of temperature on the efficiency of capillary imbibition mechanism were investigated. For this purpose, 3-D capillary imbibition tests under static conditions and at different temperatures (between 20" and 90Β°C) were conducted using Berea Sandstone samples taken from the s

Spontaneous imbibition is an important IOR process, especially for fractured carbonate reservoirs with low permeability matrix blocks. If the chalk is oil-wet, the process will not take place. Previous studies have shown that seawater may increase the water-wetness. The sulphate ions in seawater may
Capillary imbibition is an oil recovery mechanism in naturally fractured reservoirs if rock matrix is water wet and there is enough water in fractures in contact with matrix. It, however, may not yield an effective recovery under certain circumstances even if these conditions are maintained. Heavy m
