“…Because the wettability alteration changes the shape of relative permeability curves (Mohammed & Babadagli, 2015), here, we select three sets of relative permeability curves to illustrate the impact of wettability alteration on shock front stability for both secondary and tertiary MSW flooding schemes. The relative permeability curves history-matched by Taheriotaghsara, Bonto, et al (2020) and Taheriotaghsara, Hosseinzadehsadati, and Nick (2020) are used here. Various history matched core flooding observations (Ayirala et al, 2020;Dang et al, 2016;Nasralla et al, 2018;Sorop et al, 2015;Wang & Alvarado, 2016) obtain a similar behavior for relative permeability curves and conclude that changing the wettability from non-water-wet to water-wet condition shifts relative permeability curves of MSW to the right.…”
