| Popis: | A significant portion of crude oil remains in the reservoir after the application of conventional recovery. To meet the growing demand of energy, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods should be used efficiently to recover the extra amount of trapped crude oil after secondary water flooding. Surfactant flooding is one of the chemical EOR methods that can be implemented to recover oil from the remaining oil in place. Ionic liquids (ILs), which are salts with a melting point beneath 100 °C, were considered as a prospective alternative to the surfactant because of their superiority in different points. In this paper, three flooding experiments using Berea sandstone samples were conducted using IL solution (commercially called Ammoeng 102) in different scenarios to check its recovery efficiency. In the first scenario, a core sample was saturated with crude oil up to irreducible water saturation (Swir) and then secondary flooded with brine. IL solution was followed in tertiary flooding mode. The second scenario w... |
