A method and system for labeling and identifying a sample, including a rock core sample, after determining a physical primary label has been compromised is provided. The method includes labeling the sample by placing a physical primary label on the sample or sample container, creating a first rollout image of the sample for a secondary label, and storing the first rollout image in a secondary label digital database with a sample identifier. The method continues for identifying the sample after determining the physical primary label has been compromised by creating a secondary rollout image of the sample and searching the secondary label digital database using the second rollout image to create a plurality of matching scores using a machine learning or deep learning image matching technique. The matching scores are then evaluated to determine an identify of a sample and the sample is re-labelled using a replacement primary label.

A method includes developing a lab-scale representative correlation between wettability index and tracer test return curve data for core samples, obtaining tracer test return curve data for rock at a well of interest, and determining a wettability index of the rock in situ using the representative correlation and the tracer test return curve data for the well. A method includes obtaining core samples of a rock representative of a formation of interest, determining a wettability index of each of the core samples, performing a tracer test on each of the core samples and obtaining tracer return curve data for each of the core samples, building a correlation between the wettability index and the tracer return curve data of the core samples, running a single-well tracer test at a well, obtaining tracer return curve data for the well, and determining a wettability index for the rock of the well.
