Microscopic Effect of Mixed Wetting Capillary Characteristics on Spontaneous Imbibition Oil Recovery in Tight Reservoirs by Yu Pu, Erlong Yang, Di Wang

“…For the complete detachment mode, the capillary tube presents a form of water phase saturated filling, achieving the optimal imbibition oil recovery effect. For the mixed wetting capillary tube with the combination of weak water wetting and strong oil wetting (i.e., <i>θ</i>_w = 75° and <i>θ</i>_o = 165°), local spontaneous imbibition turbulence can only detach very little oil at the inlet of the water wetting area, ultimately achieving a recovery efficiency of less than 10%. …”
