At 140°C and 200bar, the optimal brine concentrations were found to be much higher (1027mM NaCl and 541mM CaCl ), with higher concentrations likely attributed to weakening hydration forces at elevated temperatures. At 1 bar and 60 °C, the minimum oil droplet-substrate adhesion force (FA) was determined at 34 mM NaCl and 225 mM CaCl2. For NaCl this strongly correlated to strengthening hydration forces, which for CaCl2 were diminished by long-range hydrophobic forces. These results highlight the importance of other non-DLVO fo
