The effect of N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethyl perfluorooctanoamide on wettability alteration of shale reservoir

Abstract The wettability of the formation is critical for the flow back of the fracturing fluid and can further affect the gas production. So it is very necessary to study the wettability of shale reservoir. Here, a novel fluorocarbon surfactant, N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethyl perfluorooctanoamide, was synt...
