Abstract: Systems and methods for improving injectivity of a hydrocarbon reservoir include: identifying a restriction of flow from an injection well into the hydrocarbon reservoir; transmitting a series of acoustic waves from an injection well into a formation that includes the hydrocarbon reservoir, wherein the series of acoustic waves are transmitted continuously for at least one day; transmitting a series of seismic waves from the injection well into the formation after the series of acoustic waves are transmitted into the hydrocarbon reservoir, wherein the series of seismic waves are transmitted continuously for at least one week; and injecting water into the injection well to cause hydrocarbon of the hydrocarbon reservoir to flow from the hydrocarbon reservoir to a production well after the series of acoustic waves are transmitted into the hydrocarbon reservoir.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for measuring the zeta potential of macroscopic solid surfaces including and not limited to: porous samples, flat substrates, coarse particles, and granular samples. Methods include: subjecting the sample to an injection of a first aqueous solution at an initial pressure with an initial ion concentration; measuring a first electrical conductivity and a first temperature of the first aqueous solution; measuring a first pH and a second pH of the first aqueous solution immediately before and after passing the first aqueous solution through the sample; measuring a first ion concentration and a second ion concentration of the first aqueous solution immediately before and after passing the first aqueous solution through the sample; and processing the measured data to derive a first zeta potential from the first electrical conductivity and the first temperature.
