Abstract
Obtained results show that the salinity of water phase acts as a resistive force to adsorption. However, waterflooding experiments and the corresponding relative permeability curves show the possible improvement in displacement performance and recovery factor of waterflooding under effect of asphaltene adsorption at certain conditions. Longer breakthrough time, more favorable transient flow and reduced residual saturation during waterflooding indicate the positive effects of asphaltene on recovery factor.
