Chemical enhanced oil recovery utilizing alternative alkalis

This study explores alternative alkaline agents other than sodium carbonate for ASP process on reactive and non-reactive crude oil recovery at 55oC and 100oC. The alkalis studied were sodium metaborate, pH of 10-10.5, and a sodium silicate/borax mixture, pH of 11. Sodium metaborate showed very optim...
