Flow Behaviour of Alkali, Surfactant, and Xanthan Solutions Used for Enhanced Oil Recovery Fluidité des solutions d'alcali, de tensio-actif et de xanthane utilisées pour la récupération assistée du pétrole

An experimental study was conducted to examine the effects of various alkalis, surfactants and brines on the viscosity of dilute aqueous solutions of two xanthan materials containing medium and high pyruvate content, over a wide range of parameters. The effect of alkalis on the flow curves of xantha...
