Carbondioxide injection into geological formations is a promising method of optimizing hydrocarbon recovery, as well as improving CO2 geo-storage security. However, the success of CO2-enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and CO2 geo-storage projects is determined by the wettability of rock/CO2/brine system...
