Review of surfactant-assisted chemical enhanced oil recovery for carbonate reservoirs: challenges and future perspectives
Abstract A significant fraction of the conventional oil reserves globally is in carbonate formations which contain a substantial amount of residual oil. Since primary and secondary recovery methods fail to yield above 20%–40% of original oil in place from these reserves, the need for enhanced oil re...
