© 2016 American Chemical Society. The main aim of this work is to establish how the fraction of oil recovered from an oil-filled calcite powder packed column by injection of aqueous surfactant solution depends on the phase behavior and surface chemic...

A model study of enhanced oil recovery by flooding with aqueous surfactant solution and comparison with theory (2015)
Journal Article
Fletcher, P. D. I., Savory, L. D., Woods, F., Clarke, A., & Howe, A. M. (2015). A model study of enhanced oil recovery by flooding with aqueous surfactant solution and comparison with theory. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 31(10), 3076-3085. https://doi.org/10.1021/la5049612

With the aim of elucidating the details of enhanced oil recovery by surfactant solution flooding, we have determined the detailed behavior of model systems consisting of a packed column of calcium carbonate particles as the porous rock, n-decane as t...
