Gulf Publishing Company Wettability by Gulf Publishing Company - Petroleum Research Book

Wettability is a fundamental factor in oil reservoir management, directly influencing the rate of oil recovery and overall petroleum production. While research in this field has grown significantly, finding a single, comprehensive resource has historically been difficult. This book from Gulf Publishing Company fills that gap as the first volume to provide an exhaustive look at major research and practical applications. Readers will find detailed coverage of essential topics such as capillary pressure, improved recovery, and the effect of wettability on relative permeability. The text also explores surface forces, including the van der Waals equation of state, and critical processes like core preservation and petroleum trapping. This resource is designed for professionals and students in the petroleum industry who require a deep understanding of how wettability impacts reservoir performance and recovery strategies.
