Effect of pressure and methane on microemulsion phase behavior and its impact on surfactant-polymer flood oil recovery

Reservoir pressure and solution gas can significantly alter the microemulsion phase behavior and the design of a surfactant-polymer flood. This dissertation shows how to predict changes in microemulsion phase behavior from dead oil at atmospheric pressure to live crude at reservoir pressure. Our m...
