Alkaline-surfactant flooding simulation

Alkaline/surfactant/polymer compositional reservoir simulator, 3-dimensional compositional reservoir simulator, for high-pH chemical flooding processes [178]... [Pg.228]

Although alkaline flooding only is not conducted as often as polymer flooding or surfactant flooding, alkaline injection is conducted together with surfactant and polymer injection. Simulation of alkaline flooding is very difficult because of complex chemical reactions. These complex reactions include at least the following ... [Pg.427]

In chemical flooding, the most challenging tasks are the quantification of surfactant phase behavior and alkahne reactions. Simulation of phase behavior of an alkaline-surfactant system that combines these two tasks in a single model may be the most challenging one. This section uses EQBATCH and UTCHEM to investigate several aspects of the phase behavior of alkaline-surfactant systems. [Pg.492]
