Unlocking the Effects of Fluid Optimization on Remaining Oil Saturation for the Combined Sulfate-Modified Water and Polymer Flooding

Interfacial interactions and wettability alteration remain as the main recovery mechanism when modified water is applied seeking to obtain higher oil recoveries. Fluid-fluid interaction could lead to the development of the called viscoelastic layer at the interface in oil-brine systems. This interfa...
