Basic Studies in the Displacement of Residual Oil by Chemical Flooding. Quarterly Report, June 1, 1980-August 31, 1980

摘要

Dynamic interfacial effects on residual oil recovery are being studied. An analysis of the stability of a stationary thin film has been completed. Experimental studies of the coalescence of low-tension oil/water/surfactant systems were continued, using iso-octane, crude oil, and tert-amyl alcohol. With the alcohol, the fastest coalescence occurs with the lowest-tension system. 4 figures, 2 tables. (ERA citation 06:000176)
