Compatibility evaluation of modified seawater for EOR in carbonate reservoirs through the introduction of polyphosphate compound

Abstract Waterflood-assisted oil recovery with sulfate-spiked seawater would cause incompatibility scaling in carbonate reservoirs and reduce economic benefits. This research investigated the benefits of polyphosphate compounds in reducing scaling potential as well as its effect on oil recovery when...
