“…Chemical flooding, which includes polymer flooding, surfactant flooding, alkalinepolymer flooding, alkaline-surfactant flooding, and alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding, is one of the promising EOR methods for the oil field with low oil production. Although it is generally accepted that the inorganic alkali, which is added into surfactant flooding, plays an important role in reducing interfacial tension (IFT) (Rahman et al, 2008;Pei et al, 2013), but field applications have proved that many problems need to be faced, such as the formation of clay migration, the damage of the stratum, and the corrosion of the oil production equipment Zhang et al, 2007) and so on. Hence, it is vital in the surfactant flooding with organic alkali or alkali-free system for EOR.…”
