A Study on the Optimization of Surfactants in the Main and Vice Slug in Weak Base ASP Flooding
In ASP (Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer) flooding processes, surfactants help to enhance oil recovery by lowering the interfacial tension between the oil and water. However, due to the high cost of surfactants and the stability of the emulsion that varies with surfactant concentration, it is necessary to...
