Abstract
► Water flushing of crude oil from kaolinite depends on oil and aqueous properties. ► An oil prone to asphaltene precipitation leaves substantial adhering residuals. ► A stable oil leaves less residual, responsive to flush salinity and pH. ► Oil removal is favored by high salinity and pH shift from neutral conditions.
