Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 1, wherein at least partially restoring the porosity and the brine permeability of the carbonate core sample further comprises:
measuring a second porosity and a second brine permeability of the extracted carbonate core sample;
determining (i) whether the measured second porosity is at least 85% of the measured first porosity and (ii) whether the measured second brine permeability is at least 85% of the measured first brine permeability; and
responsive to determining that at least one of the measured second porosity is not at least 85% of the measured first porosity and the measured second brine permeability is not at least 85% of the measured first brine permeability,
pumping the oxidizing solution through the carbonate core sample; and
heating the carbonate core sample to the first temperature of at least 60° C. after pumping the oxidizing solution through the carbonate core sample.
