Objective: The present paper investigates the effect of nanoparticle concentrations on the interfacial tension and wettability during the low salinity water flooding (LSWF) at microscale. Method: A wide range of LSW concentrations were prepared and investigated for their ability to modulate the interfacial tension with crude oil. The impact of salinity on the fluid-rock interactions was studied through contact angle measurements on water-wet, intermediate-wet and oil-wet glass substrates. Nanofluid systems at a fixed concentration of 0.1wt% were prepared by mixing the hydrophilic silica NPs with a wide range of LSW concentrations. Likewise, the impact of silica nanoparticles on the IFT was investigated. Results: The fluids interactions r...
