Understanding the wettability of porous surfaces at the reservoir rocks is an important factor for the success of water flood techniques in EOR processes. Till date a conclusive study about the fundamental chemical understanding of all the factors affecting the wettability of a reservoir remains elusive. This is due to the absence of techniques with high spatial resolution to observe the wettability at pore scale and also due to the complex nature of intrinsic properties of the rock.
