WETTABILITY
DEFINITION OF WETTABILITY
Wettability is the tendency of one fluid to spread on or adhere to a solid surface inthe presence of other immiscible fluids.
Wettability refers to interaction between fluid and solid phases. Reservoir rocks (sandstone, limestone, dolomite, etc.) are the solid surfaces Oil, water, and/or as are the fluids
WHY STUDY WETTABILITY?
!nderstand physical and chemical interactions between". #ndividual fluids and reservoir rocks$. %ifferent fluids with in a reservoir &. #ndividual fluids and reservoir rocks when multiple fluids are
present
'etroleum reservoirs commonly have $ & fluids (multiphase systems)
When $ or more fluids are present, there are at least & sets of forces actin on thefluids and affectin * recovery
DEFINITION OF ADHESION TENSION
+dhesion tension is e pressed as the difference between two solid-fluid.interfacial tensions.
+ positive adhesion tension indicates that the denser phase (water) preferentially wets the solid surface (and vice versa ).
+n adhesion tension of ero indicates that both phases have e ual
affinity for the solid surface
