PETROMAKS-Maksimal utnyttelse av petroleumsreserver

A novel approach to surfactant flooding under mixed-wet conditions

Traditionally, surfactant flooding has been a method for reducing residual oil after water flooding (Sorw), i.e. the target is oil trapped by capillary forces at pore scale. Field remaining oil saturation after water flooding (ROS) may be substantially hi gher than Sorw. The focus will be on ROS ...
