Abstract

The wettability of subsurface minerals is a critical factor influencing the pore-scale displacement of fluids in underground reservoirs. As such, it plays a key role in hydrocarbon production and greenhouse gas geo-sequestration. We present a comprehensive and critical review of the current state of knowledge on the intermolecular forces governing wettability of rock minerals most relevant to subsurface fluid storage and recovery. In this review we first provide a detailed summary of the available data, both experimental and theoretical, from the perspective of the fundamental intermolecular and surface forces, specifically considering the roles played by the surface chemistry, fluid properties, as well as other significant factors. We subsequently offer an analysis of the effects of chemical additives such as surfactants and nanoparticles that have emerged as viable means for manipulating wettability. In each example, we highlight the practical implications for hydrocarbon production and CO2 geo-storage as two of the most important current applications. As the physico-chemical mechanisms governing the wetting phenomena are the main focus, special emphasis is placed on nano-scale experimental approaches along with atomic-scale modeling that specifically probe the underlying intermolecular and surface forces. Lastly, we discuss the gaps in the current state of knowledge and outline future research directions to further our fundamental understanding of the interactions and their impact on the wetting characteristics of Earth's minerals.

岩石矿物的润湿性和潜在的表面力:回顾对石油开采和二氧化碳地质封存的影响
地下矿物的润湿性是影响地下储层流体孔隙尺度位移的关键因素。因此,它在碳氢化合物生产和温室气体地质封存中发挥着关键作用。我们对与地下流体存储和回收最相关的岩石矿物润湿性分子间作用力的知识现状进行了全面而严谨的综述。在这篇综述中,我们首先从基本分子间作用力和表面作用力的角度,详细总结了现有的实验和理论数据,特别考虑了表面化学、流体性质以及其他重要因素的作用。随后,我们分析了化学添加剂(如表面活性剂和纳米粒子)的效果,这些添加剂已成为操纵润湿性的可行手段。在每个例子中,我们都强调了对碳氢化合物生产和二氧化碳地质封存这两个当前最重要应用的实际影响。由于湿润现象的物理化学机制是研究的重点,我们特别强调了纳米尺度的实验方法以及原子尺度的建模方法,这些方法专门探究了潜在的分子间作用力和表面作用力。最后,我们讨论了当前知识水平的差距,并概述了未来的研究方向,以进一步加深我们对相互作用及其对地球矿物润湿特性影响的基本理解。

期刊介绍: "Advances in Colloid and Interface Science" is an international journal that focuses on experimental and theoretical developments in interfacial and colloidal phenomena. The journal covers a wide range of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, and technology. The journal accepts review articles on any topic within the scope of colloid and interface science. These articles should provide an in-depth analysis of the subject matter, offering a critical review of the current state of the field. The author's informed opinion on the topic should also be included. The manuscript should compare and contrast ideas found in the reviewed literature and address the limitations of these ideas. Typically, the articles published in this journal are written by recognized experts in the field.
