EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF LOW SALINE WATER (LSW) DURING FAWAG-CO2 ON LIGHT OIL

Water flooding for a long time has been regarded as a secondary oil recovery method which can considerably increase oil production. However, even in this case, a significant amount of oil is still trapped in the reservoir. So far, to recover the remaining oil, various methods as tertiary recovery pr...
