... viscosity and consequently poor production rate, high water cut, and high-pressure drawdown due to unfavorable mobility ratios and flow assurance challenges caused by the high oil viscosity. Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) techniques were designed to combat the highlighted issues. The combination of IOR...

...Introduction As global energy demand continue to grow, oil and gas industries are looking for different technology that can help to improve hydrocarbon production ( Torsater et al. 2012 ). Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process is a chemical enhanced oil recovery method where chemicals in form...

... Abstract After the primary and secondary oil recoveries, a substantial amount of oil is left in the reservoir which can be recovered by tertiary methods like the Alkaline-Surfactant Flood. Reasons for having some unproduced hydrocarbon in the reservoir include and not limited to the following...
