Wettability Index

The "Wettability Index" is a quantitative metric in petroleum engineering that characterizes the relative affinity of a reservoir rock surface for water versus oil by measuring the degree of fluid preference under static and dynamic conditions, thereby distinguishing it from general wettability classifications through its dimensionless numerical representation.
