Chemical enhanced oil recovery: Synergetic mechanism of alkali, surfactant and polymer with overview of methyl ester sulfonate as a green alternative for EOR surfactant

The limitation of primary and secondary flooding results in more than 60% of original oil in place (OOIP) remains in the reservoir. High interfacial tension (IFT) between crude oil-rock formation as well as oil-water from the primary flooding necessitates the use of IFT reduction agents to suppress...
