Wettability alteration and IFT reduction during carbonated water injection; a critical investigation into the role of pH by Zoha Dalal Isfehani, Jalal Fahimpour, Mohammad Sharifi, Hossein Khalili, Mohammad Saeid Tayebi

“…Consequently, the effectiveness of IFT reduction in the presence of carbonated water relies on the crude oil’s composition, particularly the ability of its basic components to ionize and become active. Thus, the results depict that the pH condition throughout the carbonated water injection can be applied as a correlating parameter for modeling and simulation purposes.…”
