Rise in core

<p>The rise in core (RIC) method is an alternate reservoir <a href="/facts/Wettability/lGloJUzr">wettability</a> characterization method described by S. Ghedan and C. H. Canbaz in 2014. The method enables estimation of all <a href="/facts/Wetting/lGloJUzr">wetting</a> regions such as strongly water wet, intermediate water, oil wet and strongly oil wet regions in relatively quick and accurate measurements in terms of <a href="/facts/Contact_angle/dSJcI5KN">Contact angle</a> rather than wettability index.
</p><p>During the RIC experiments, <a href="/facts/Core_sample/rdmY2cMw">core samples</a> saturated with selected reservoir fluid were subjected to <a href="/facts/Imbibition/P0WP0N2U">imbibition</a> from a second reservoir fluid. RIC wettability measurements are compared with and modified – <a href="/facts/Amott_test/KXns9BcX">Amott test</a> and <a href="/facts/United_States_Bureau_of_Mines/N2kMqX6S">USBM</a> measurements using core plug pairs from different heights of a thick <a href="/facts/Carbonated_water/ng6yNLsq">carbonate</a> reservoir. Results show good coherence. The RIC method is an alternate method to Amott and USBM methods and that efficiently characterizes Reservoir Wettability.
