... of an optimal (PAG) slug model. Biopolymer (Xanthan) and Synthetic polymer (Polyacrylamide) were used as the base fluids. Polyacrylamide which is a copolymer of acrylic acid/acrylamide and Xanthan has been used extensively in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. High molecular weight polyacrylamide strongly...

...Introduction Abstract This research work focuses on the performance of sodium lauryl sulfate as surfactant in enhanced oil recovery of medium crude oil in the Niger Delta fields. Characterization of the sodium lauryl sulfate (surfactant) was carried out to determine the functional groups...

...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...

... Basic Principle of the flooding Experiment Polyacrylamide which is a copolymer of acrylic acid and acrylamide has been used extensively in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes (Guerillot 1988) 20 . High molecular weight polyacrylamide strongly increases the water viscosity and thus decreases...

.... Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process was conducted employing with Berea sandstone cores as the porous medium with OFITE®'s reservoir permeability tester(RPT). EOR efficiency using this combination gave more recoveries ranging from 58-72% of the initial oil in place after water flooding and also a comparism...

... Abstract Surfactants are known for their unique property in lowering the interfacial tension (IFT) amid fluids injected and heavy crude oil of 22.3°API. In this present work, an original surfactant was formulated from natural oil (Castor oil) to see its use in enhanced oil recovery. The results...

...Interfacial Tension Reduction Interfacial tension is a measure of the cohesive energy present at the interface. It is measured in mN/m units ( Sari et al., 2019 ). Interfacial tension reduction is the key factor in enhanced oil recovery ( Sari et al., 2019 ). Interfacial tension (IFT...
