... deployment. We considered different injection water salinities, surfactant molecules, and brine treatment requirements for several ASP and SP designs. ASP and SP corefloods recovered nearly all of the remaining oil after waterflooding. The surfactant retention was lower for SP floods when brine with reduced...

... Abstract The limitations of oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs are fractures and oil-wet conditions. To overcome the reservoir heterogeneities and reduce fracture transmissibility, preformed particle gel was applied in injector wells. Experimentally, low salinity waterflooding was applied...

... Single Well Chemical Tracer Testing (SWCTT) is widely used to determine remaining oil saturation after waterflooding and after enhanced oil recovery technologies are applied. SWCTT has the advantage of being a direct measurement of oil saturation in the reservoir while maintaining wettability. 1...

..., and waterflood recovered significantly more oil. A hybrid thermal/chemical EOR process was more effective when a preflush of hot water was considered to heat up a portion of the reservoir ahead of chemical injection. When viscous fingering was neglected, oil recovery could be erroneously as high as 50% more...
