Abstract

The core of the present work is the studies of the use of additives in low salinity water for their suitability for injection into oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs to improve the oil recovery performance in an enhanced oil recovery process by this method. This work carried out various investigations to find out the possibilities to mitigate the shortcomings of the existing process of low salinity water injection enhanced oil recovery.
