• W2923973703 abstract "The technique of low salinity waterflooding (LSW) during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes, attempt to recover residual oils trapped in petroleum reservoirs. So far, after evidences of the benefits of LSW, some controversial results emerged and the mechanisms underlying the technology is still debated in the literature. It thus appears crucial to have a thorough understanding crude oil/brine/rock (COBR) interactions as the reservoir is a porous medium in which solid and fluid phases coexist. Firstly we studied the water wettability of different swelling clay minerals as a function of different interlayer cations (Li+, Na+, K+ and Ca2+), relative humidity, particle size and surface roughness. Even if these parameters have been investigated individually, the nature of the cations, surface roughness and particle size are closely linked. The nature of exchangeable cation indirectly drives the state of roughness of the clay films (in decreasing order: Ca2+ >>> K+ > (Li+, Na+)). However, it is the hydration energy which ultimately takes over during contact angle measurements. On the other hand, for a given clay mineral with a given exchangeable cation, wettability of the film has been observed to be influenced by the size of the particles. The larger the size of the clay platelets, the rougher the film and the higher the contact angle. As far as the influence of relative humidity is concerned, it only has a marginal effect on the contact angles. However, working at high humidity has shown to limit the phenomenon of evaporation. Regarding the oil wettability of clay minerals, at a solid/oil/air interface, the oil rapidly spread on the different clay minerals. In the second part, biphasic oil/aqueous medium interaction as a function of salt species and concentration has been studied via interfacial tension measurements (IFT). The results obtained with two crude oils and a model system (dodecane containing oleic acid) have shown that IFT is minimum at an optimum salinity. As far as salt species is concerned, IFT of the crude oils has been observed to be low in the presence of small, hard and highly polarising ions like Li+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ and in the presence of large, soft and highly polarisable ions like Rb+ and Cs+. The results on the model system has shown that lowering of IFT was due to ion paring between the small, hard cations and the hard polar headgroup of the surfactant (oleate). The third part of the thesis was dedicated to the study of triple phase oil/brine/clay interactions. Our results firstly show that in conditions favouring salting-in of surfactants, adsorption of crude oil components on clay minerals have been favoured (lowering of oil contact angles on mica surfaces in the presence of brines composed of divalent cations). Triple phase interaction has also been investigated by studying the stability of emulsions in the presence of clay colloids.According to the different observations we hypothesised that some crude oil components adsorb directly onto mineral surfaces while others need a cation bridge (Na+, Ca+ or Mg2+)." @default.
