  ABSTRACT: Low-salinity flooding has been extensively investigated. However, the effects of several variables, such as mineralogical composition, have been neglected. In this regard, the main objective here was to optimize low-salinity water flooding of reservoirs with a wide range of rock mineralogy. Five different brines were determined in reservoirs with different mineral compositions. The mineral composition consisted of limestone and dolomite and the mineralogy varied between 0 and 100% limestone content. The results indicated that the optimum mineralogical system consists of 50% limestone and 50% dolomite flooded with 100% diluted formation brine. Additionally, reservoir mineral composition plays a significant role in the performance of low-salinity water flooding. The findings here will improve our understanding of rock composition effects on the performance of low-salinity water flooding and provide the industry with data that can scientifically improve process optimization.
