“…Wettability reversal either from oil-wet to water-wet state or from water-wet to oil-wet state increases oil recovery (Mehranfar and Ghazanfari, 2014). Sarafzadeh et al (2013) reported that bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation can convert wettability from the neutral- or oil-wet state to the water-wet state.…”

“…Finally, the oil recovery factor of each process was measured and analyzed. It should be mentioned that after each experiment, the micromodel was cleaned based on the procedure reported in literature to maintain its water-wet wettability (Mehranfar and Ghazanfari, 2014).…”

“…Considerable decrease of the interfacial tension between the fluids and enhanced favorable mobility ratio would result in higher microscopic and macroscopic oil recovery (Liu et al, 2006;Saha et al, 2018). Accordingly, in-situ emulsification, which is the product of chemical reaction between the two displaced and displacing fluids in the reservoirs due to the injection of different chemicals including surfactant and alkalis, has been the subject of many recent studies (Alvarado, 1979;Kumar et al, 2010;Mehranfar and Ghazanfari, 2014;Taiwo et al, 2016).…”

“…The primary control parameters of surfactant flooding include oil-water interfacial tension, the relative permeability curves, and the interpolation parameters at low and high interfacial tensions [32][33][34][35][36]. Without the addition of any surfactants, the IFT of the crude oil against its water was measured to be 19.73 mN/m using the axisymmetric drop shape analysis technique [37].…”
