Petrophysics and Surface Chemistry
Section Head: Jill Buckley

Our studies focus on:

  • Surface and interfacial properties of crude oils.
  • Wettability alteration and crude oil/brine/rock interactions.
  • Stability of asphaltenes.
  • Core cleaning and the effects of surfactants on wettability assessment.
