Commercial scale simulations of surfactant/polymer flooding
The depletion of oil reserves and higher oil prices has made chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods more attractive in recent years. Because of geological heterogeneity, unfavorable mobility ratio, and capillary forces, conventional oil recovery (including water flooding) leaves behind much oi...
