Screening of Chemicals to Enhance Oil Recovery in a Mature Sandstone Oilfield in Kazakhstan: Overcoming Challenges of High Residual Oil

Screening of Chemicals to Enhance Oil Recovery in a Mature Sandstone Oilfield in Kazakhstan: Overcoming Challenges of High Residual Oil

Chemical flooding, such as alkaline-surfactant (AS) or nanoparticles-surfactant (NS) flooding, is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that has been increasingly utilized to enhance the oil production rate and recovery factor while reducing chemical adsorption. The AS/NS flooding process involve...
