... Abstract This work details the results of ambient temperature waterfloods in unconsolidated sand containing heavy oil (11°API and viscosity of 11,500 mPa⋅s at 23°C). Experiments are performed at rates ranging from 0.4 – 0.02 m/day, in sand with permeability of under 1 D to 9 D. By varying both...
