Kaolinite basal planes are calculated to link to oil through oil -NH+ groups at pH < 6-7 and through oil -COOCa+ groups at pH > 6-7, and may be important to oil attraction where basal planes are more exposed than edges (the ranges shift, depending on the oil, acid, and base numbers). Model predictions are most sensitive to the dissociation constant of oil surface carboxylate groups but are relatively insensitive to other surface equilibria and temperature. The model shows that, although low-salinity, low-Ca waterfloods can enhance oil recovery by decreasing the number of Ca2+ bridges and anionic kaolinite-edge sites, dissolution of sandstone carbonate minerals dampens the low-salinity effect by buffering decreases in waterflood Ca2+ levels. Better model predictions require more-accurate predictions of Ca2+ levels during waterflooding, high-temperature sulfateadsorption analyses, and more-precise measurements of oil acidity and basicity. 2 SPE Journal 18 ARTICULO Surface, Patrick V. 53246 Krumhansl, James L. 53247 187718 187718 0 0 0 0 255537 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-06 200059861 0 200059861 2026-03-06 00:17:45 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
