Influence of Oil Viscosity on Alkaline Flooding for Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery

Oil viscosity was studied as an important factor for alkaline flooding based on the mechanism of “water drops” flow. Alkaline flooding for two oil samples with different viscosities but similar acid numbers was compared. Besides, series flooding tests for the same oil sample were conducted at differ...
