A systematic approach to alkaline-surfactant-foam flooding of heavy oil: microfluidic assessment with a novel phase-behavior viscosity map

The apparent viscosity of viscous heavy oil emulsions in water can be less than that of the bulk oil. Microfluidic flooding experiments were conducted to evaluate how alkali-surfactant-foam enhanced oil recovery (ASF EOR) of heavy oil is affected by emulsion formation. A novel phase-behavior viscosi...
