oa Chemical EOR In Carbonates - Reservoir Analogs For Core Flood Experiments

Core flood experiments under reservoir conditions are a sensible step between laboratory trials and field tests. An evaluation cycle of suitable surfactants for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from defined carbonate reservoirs in Middle East (high temperature, high salinity) is demonstrated: reservoir and analog characterization, flooding experiments on selected analogs and finally, test of selected surfactants and original Middle East core material.
