Increasing Reservoir Recovery Efficiency through Laboratory-Proven Hybrid Smart Water-Assisted Foam (SWAF) Flooding in Carbonate Reservoirs

This contribution introduces a new hybrid enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method which combines smart water-assisted foam (SWAF) flooding, known as the SWAF process. The concept of applying SWAF flooding in carbonate reservoirs is a novel approach previously unexplored in the literature. The synergy eff...
