Alkaline surfactant polymer flooding shown to improve recovery in very mature oilfield by more than 300%

Green Car Congress

In a report on Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) production research published in 2000, the DOE described ASP: The alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) process evolved from the early studies on micellarpolymer flooding. Polymer is added to protect the chemical slug from early dissipation by the driving water phase. water production.
