In particular, low salinity water injection has been shown to improve oil recovery in both laboratory core floods and field pilot testKeywords: Atomic force microscope (AFM); Carbonate surfaces; Improve oil recovery; Improved oil recovery; Initial water saturation; Laboratory studies; Monovalent cations; Recovery mechanisms; Adhesion; Atomic force microscopy; Computerized tomography; Crude oil; E20092016-02-24
