Abstract
A protocol for determining the effect of water composition on surface alteration is described using simple and less preparation sensitive, brine/oil and rock/brine/air systems when compared to conventional rock/brine/oil measurement methods. A model glass/brine/oil system is described and it is demonstrated that experimental measurements of contact angle obtained using a conventional approach agree well with the contact angles predicted using the proposed protocol.
