    Abstract: Alteration of reservoir-wettability is very important during Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process since it helps to mobilize hydrocarbon and thus increase its recovery from the reservoirs. However, conventional wettability alteration agents used in the industry are inorganic chemicals which are expensive, constitute and have been found to be harmful... Show More
