... Abstract Surfactant flooding is a recognized technique within the realm of chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR), to enhance oil recovery in cases of continual depletion in conventional oil reserves. This method has a track record of effectively increasing oil recovery rates. The process...

... of oil and water recovered was measured. MES surfactant flooding The surfactant synthesized from algae was used in the flooding experiment to determine the volume of residual oil and surfactant that can be recovered after surfactant flooding. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This includes the values...

... 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...

... Abstract Oil and gas production in Nigeria, recently advanced into secondary method of recovery of hydrocarbon aiming at tertiary recovery methods known as Enhanced Oil Recovery. It is of great importance to start the preparation for this phase now. Alkaline-Surfactant flooding is a tertiary...

... of kerosene and other fractional wettability conditions were also established. Six experiments were performed. In all the experiments, imbibition, drainage, water flooding, surfactant flooding and polymer flooding were carried out on the porous medium. 0.7PV surfactant solution (teepol) at a concentration...
