Visual examination of oil-water incompatibility and emulsion stability. This was expected to be achieved through water analysis...

... Abstract Water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection is a widely used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique. The performance of WAG injection is affected by a number of design parameters; including the size of the gas and water injection slugs as well as their order of injection. Since the prediction...
