Page 10 - Gas Wettability of Reservoir Rock Surfaces with Porous Media

Preface ix

and technologies in petroleum engineering research and development,
improve gas wettability's basic theory, and expand petroleum engineering's
core course content, including Petrophysics and Reservoir Engineering, towards
efficiently exploring and developing shale gas, coal-bed gas, low permeability
reservoir, heavy oil reservoir, deep water, and deep oil and gas reservoir.
This book is divided into 6 chapters.

Chapter 1, Concept of Gas Wettability and Research Status, presents basic gas
wettability concept and research status, and is compiled by Jiang Guancheng
from China University of Petroleum (Beijing).

Chapter 2, Evaluation Methods and Influencing Factors of Gas Wettability, ela-
borates gas wettability evaluation methods and factors affecting gas wettabil-
ity, and is compiled by Jiang Guancheng and Zhang Min from China
University of Petroleum (Beijing).
Chapter 3, Gas-wetting Alteration Agent and Gas-wetting Alteration
Mechanism, introduces Gas-wetting alteration agent and gas wetting alteration
mechanism and is compiled by Jiang Guancheng and Li Yingying from China
University of Petroleum (Beijing), and Kong Ying and Fen Chunyan from
China University of Petroleum (East China).

Chapter 4, Effect of Gas Wettability on the Surface Properties of Rocks, studies
gas wettability effects on rock surface properties, and is compiled by Jiang
Guancheng from China University of Petroleum (Beijing).
Chapter 5, Effect of Gas Wettability on Capillaries and Oil, Gas, and Water
Distribution and Seepage, discusses gas wettability's influence on capillary
force, oil-water distribution and seepage state in oil and gas reservoir rocks,
and is compiled by Jiang Guancheng and Zhang Min from China University
of Petroleum (Beijing).
Chapter 6, Application of Gas Wettability in Petroleum Engineering, introduces
gas wettability's application in petroleum engineering, and is compiled by Jiang
Guancheng and Zhang Shuo from China University of Petroleum (Beijing).
This book has been comprehensively reviewed by Professor Jiang Guancheng
from China University of Petroleum (Beijing).
The results achieved in this book would not have been possible without the
strong support and help from the Natural Science Foundation Committee of
the People's Republic of China, Ministry of Science and Technology of the
People's Republic of China, National Development and Reform Commission,
China National Petroleum Corporation, China Petrochemical Corporation,
China University of Petroleum (Beijing), China University of Petroleum (East
China), as well as from major oil companies. I would like to express my heart-
felt thanks to everyone. I would like to also thank my colleagues for their
extensive research work on gas wettability of oil and gas reservoirs’ porous
medium, and its application in petroleum engineering.
