Abstract

Water flooding was first used for pressure maintenance and has become the most widely used improved-oil-recovery technique. The effect of alkaline on the recovery of crude oil by imbibition and water flooding has been investigated. This study is based on displacement tests in loose-sand cores with light oil. The alkaline injections were initiated after the columns had been reduced to a residual oil saturation by conventional low salinity waterflooding.
