Brief description Model Studies of the Wettability of Reservoir and Seal Rocks as Recovered and After Treatments to Alter Surface Properties. Key contributions will be made to the science that underpins petroleum recovery. The combination of diverse expertise in interfacial physics and chemistry, petroleum geology and petrophysics provides a large innovative potential for the industry. Two graduate students will be educated in a rich multi-disciplinary research environment with a strong emphasis on both academic and industrial aspects of the problems. The research conducted will enable the industrial partners to improve existing technologies for predicting where oil and gas is trapped and for petroleum recovery.\r\n
