Table 2. Summary of the Effect of Different Factors on Imbibition.

factors types effect
chemical types anionic cationic nonionic Anion works best.
concentration, wt % 0.00 0.10 0.30 0.50 Best when the concentration is 0.30 wt %.
crude oil types crude oil mixture of reservoir crude oil and kerosene The higher the crude oil viscosity, the lower the imbibition efficiency.
water type distilled water simulated formation water The formation water is conducive to the emulsification of crude oil and improves imbibition replacement efficiency.
temperature NT 60 °C Temperature is beneficial to enhancing imbibition replacement efficiency.
pressure NP 15 MPa Pressure helps to enhance the imbibition effect, but the effect is weaker than that of temperature.
