Mass Transfer Mechanisms of ASP Flooding in Porous Media

Abstract:

Experiments on chromatography separation are taken for ASP flooding. Mass transfer equation is estabilished and mutiple adsorption factor is obtained. Mutiple adsorption factor is used to analyze the experiment results. The Mass transfer property of alkali, surfactant and polymer during single fooding and ASP flooding and the effect on interfacial tension of oil/solution are discussed. The results show the diffrence of hesteris degree of alkali, surfactant and polymer deduce the chromatography separation, lowing the active of ASP flooding. Accoding to interfacial tension, the efficent length of ASP slug is discussed.
