Evaluation of the Oil Recovery Potential and Cost Implication Analysis of Alternative ASP Formulations for Sandstone and Carbonate Reservoirs.

This study explores alternative chemical agents to enhance oil recovery in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs, aiming to address limitations in alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding. Existing ASP methods face technical and environmental challenges, prompting research into alternative chemical agents. However, there are limited field deployments of these alternative chemical agents due to high costs, and ternary combinations of these agents remain unexplored.
