| Abstract: A method of recovering a liquid hydrocarbon using an injectate includes
recovering the liquid hydrocarbon through primary extraction.
Physico-chemical data representative of electrostatic interactions
between the liquid hydrocarbon and the reservoir rock are measured. At
least one additive of the injectate is selected based on the
physico-chemical data. The method includes recovering the liquid
hydrocarbon from the reservoir rock through secondary extraction using
the injectate. |
