• Effect of Initial Wettability on Rock Mechanics and Oil Recovery: Comparative Study on Outcrop Chalks 

      Sachdeva, Jaspreet Singh; Nermoen, Anders; Korsnes, Reidar Inge; Madland, Merete Vadla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Brines containing surface-active divalent ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and SO42− impact the stiffness, strength and time-dependent deformation of water wet Mons outcrop chalk. This study documents how stiffness and strength of ...
    • A laboratory scale approach to wettability restoration in chalk core samples 

      Sachdeva, Jaspreet Singh; Sripal, Edison A.; Nermoen, Anders; Korsnes, Reidar Inge; Madland, Merete Vadla; James, Lesley A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Wettability in chalk has been studied comprehensively to understand fluid flow mechanisms impacting coreflooding experiments. Wettability becomes paramount in understanding the parameters influencing chalk-fluid interactions. ...
