<p>FLOODING WITH MICELLAR SYSTEM TO SOLUBILIZE EQUAL VOLUMES OF HYDROCARBON AND WATER Improved oil recovery by flooding subterranean formations with micellar dispersions comprised of hydrocarbon, water, cosurfactant, surfactant, and optionally electrolyte is obtained by designiny the micellar dispersion to solubilize about equal volumes of connate water and crude oil within the subterranean formation. Such is accomplished by selecting a particular cosurfactant and adjusting the concentration of the cosurfactant to obtain the desired solubilization characteristics.</p> |
