Screening and Optimization of Chemicals to Alter Reservoir Wettability

W ettability is one of the main factors that affected the recovery of oil and gas in
a reservoir. A reservoir need unique of wettability to produce optimum
hydrocarbon. Alteration of wettability needed in some reservoir in order to get
that unique feature of wettability for different type of reservoir. Chemicals can
be used as the tools to help the process of the wettability alteration. There were
few types of chemicals that commonly used in industry toward the alteration of
the wettability. Hence, in order to find the best chemicals, the criteria and
properties of different case study should be taken into account to produce a set of
analysis. This procedure is called the screening process. After the analysis done
by collecting the data, the best chemicals can be selected toward the suitable
reservoir according to its properties.
