Abstract

Additives for improving the flow uniformity during secondary oil recovery are partially retained in the rock. The flow improval effects continue to be observed even when the chemical solution is succeeded by pure water. Considerable flushing with water is required before the old permeability of the rock is restored to its original higher level. This effect is extremely advantageous for the application to water flooding profiles in oil recovery. It makes possible an alternating water slug/chemical solution flooding program which further reduces the already relatively small amount of chemicals required in the operation.
