terms:oil_wet

Oleophilic. A condition in which oil wets the rock surfaces. Often described by the angle of contact of an oil droplet on the solid surface. The lower the angle (measured inside the oil phase) the greater the adhesion and the greater the degree of wettability for oil. If the nonwetting aqueous phase should be forced to move, it would advance over the adhesive layer of the oil.
