now being used for highly viscous crudes,under higher salinity and higher temperature conditionsLow cost and more effective lab methods have been developed for chemical formulationsHigh recovery efficiency(90%OOIP)has been obtained in low permeability sandstone and dolomite reservoir coresThe amount of surfactant needed to recovery the oil has been reduced by a factor of 2-5 compared to technology used in 70s and 80s Summary(Contd)Summary(Contd)Polymer flooding has been applied in commercial scalesASP and SP have only been applied successfully in pilot scalesMany challenges are still
