Abstract
⺠We ran experiments in model and reservoir rocks to demonstrate buffering capacity of minerals. ⺠We demonstrate that anhydrite, among other minerals, regulates pH and ion profiles in floods. ⺠Geochemical model predicts well aqueous chemistry during oil recovery with alkaline solutions. ⺠Upscaling through modeling shows that lab results act as poor predictors of field chemistry.
