“…The reservoir simulator used in this thesis is UTCHEM, a three-dimensional, multiphase, multicomponent chemical flooding simulator developed in the Center for Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin (Pope et al, 1979;Data-Gupta et al, 1986;Saad et al, 1989;Bhuyan et al, 1990;Delshad et al, 1996;Delshad et al, 2006 the optimum salinity is 16,000 ppm TDS, the salinity of 7,000 ppm TDS was chosen for ACP slug by considering the activity of the crude and viscous microemulsion slightly above the optimum salinity. From the coreflood results, the oil recovery was 69.5% of residual oil saturation after waterflood and residual oil saturation from chemical flood (S orc ) was 13.5%.…”
