Abstract

Wetting characteristics of crude oil droplets over limestone substrates in the presence of different aqueous solutions are investigated in terms of wetting length, droplet depth, contact angle, and spreading coefficient. A wide range of concentration of NaOH, Alcoflood polymer, and nonionic Triton X-100 surfactant are used as a continuous phase for the crude oil droplet. NaOH and Triton X-100 significantly enhanced the spreading characteristics of the crude oil droplet; however, AF1235 polymer caused a huge reduction in the spreading behavior of crude oil.
