Numerical approach for enhanced oil recovery with surfactant flooding

The remained oil in the reservoir after conventional water-flooding processes, forms a dispersed phase in the form of oil drops which is trapped by capillary forces and is almost about 70% of the original oil in the place (OOIP). To reduce oil residual saturation in laboratory experiments and field...
